Event Report
LORTON NIGHT EVENT 4TH FEB 2015//
////
//WEATHER: The weather was considerably better than the previous week when I had taken the decision to postpone the event due to the Yellow warning of snow and strong winds. Neither really materialised in this part of the world but had a heavy snowfall occurred while everyone was out biking then we might have had to have a lock-in in the pub, I know I like my beer but I also like my own bed . As it turned out it was a crisp evening with no wind and several of you returned saying it was too warm (not sure about that, but I had been sitting still for a while).//
////
//Due to the wide spread of classes entered and the small numbers in each I decided to amalgamate the male classes and female classes other than the Generation class. This meant that the mixed team was joined into the female class. //
////
//Congratulations to Julian Cooper for having learnt and remembered that going over Whinfell and Mosser to Loweswater was never a winning route from Lorton in the time allowed. There were enough points to collect within the Lorton Vale. Hence he just beat Andy Williamson into second place although Andy did have a wheel problem and was forced to return home and change wheels. 3rd place went to Chris Hope.//
////
//The ladies was won by Gillian Conroy and Sue Walker with a score of 240.//
////
//There were 3 generation classes, the winners were Graeme & Conor Campbell with a score of 210.//
////
//My apologies to anyone who had problems finding No 14, on hindsight I think it should have been omitted as the mapping in the wood is not very good and hindered even more by the fact that it was a night event.//
////
//Thanks again for turning up, I hope you all enjoyed it. I can’t remember being able to put all the checkpoints out and collect them in without getting wet once!//
