Event Report
Marathon
35 riders completed the 3 courses in superb weather so it is just disappointing that more people didn't take part. The Forestry Commission didn't charge for access or the toll road and Richard Laley allowed us to park at High Rigg free of charge. All riders received a certificate and drinks bottle and the event profit of £51 has been donated to the Scarborough & Ryedale Search & Rescue Team. The event will be held again next year and Purple Mountain Bike Shop are going to get involved but if you have any ideas about how to make the event more popular I would be glad to hear them,
It isn't a race but Andy Massey rode the 70k route in 4.25, John Dixon completed the 50k route in 3.48 and the Paleys rode the short route of 25k in 1.55. Thanks to the Appletons, Paleys, Dixons and Msseys for their help and a special thanks to my wife, Barbara, who looked after registration, start, finish and certificates!!
