Event Report
Unbelievably, 50 riders turned up at the Jolly Farmers to ride so it made the efforts of Sammy Wilson - who planned the course - worthwhile. Fortunately he had given us 20 controls on tarmac and only 10 on bridleways - which I completely ignored!! Cold, wet, wind and foggy but at least there were only 2 controls above the snow line. I thoroughly enjoyed my ride once I got started and then afterwards when my feet had thawed. It is lovely undulating countryside with some very pretty villages but the pub was a very welcome sight after 2 hours. Thanks to Jens for another excellent map and for helping at registration. Thanks to Sammy and Will who manned the start and finish and then checked all of the sums!!
Congratulations to Kris Smith who managed to beat Andy Conn by one point - and that doesn't happen often!! I managed to win M50, Ralph & Chris Defty used local knowledge - as well as quite a bit of effort - to win X21 while Louise Granger won W21 for the first time.
That's it for pub based events for 3 months but we will be running a series of summer evening events as usual starting in May.
