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."'
