There's a profile of Rob Jebb in the current issue of The Fellrunner
Magazine. It obviously concentrates on his fell running (current British
Champion and runner-up in the English Championship) but it does mention
his cycling at one point:
'Outside fell running Rob has also made a name for himself
on cyclo-cross racing: "I started doing a bit when I was 15
and rode in the Three Peaks cyclo-cross race when I was 17,
lying about my age. I've won the Peaks for the last three
years and also compete over parkland courses, finishing 7th
in the National championships in January this year."
'During the F&M year of 2001, Rob began road racing on his
bike as well with the Ronhill cycling team. "I'd no
experience," recalls Rob, "but with a solid grounding in cyclo-
cross, was sure to be okay. After my first few races I found
that I was really enjoying it and was soon taking part in
premier-7 calendar races. I was getting placed in the Top 20
in these events and impressed the manager of the Scottish
team, Vello Ecosse, who invited me to ride for them in the
Tour of Ireland. I rode well, but crashed on the 3rd satge
and dislocated my shoulder, causing me to retire. Shortly
afterwards I won my first race, the South West Divisional
Championships, and this rates highly on my list of personal
achievements."'
