Event Report
We did not get the promised views over the Solway but hopefully the glorious sunshine kept a smile on your face! Maryport Golf Club provided an ideal location for the this, the second, in the 2016 series. Many thanks to Chris and his team in the kitchen and behind the bar for keeping us all 'fed and watered'. //

//Much of this area had been used before as part of the Dearham and Mawbray events in previous years. Hopefully combining them gave a slightly different challenge and made you rethink your route choices. There were plenty of high scores and close packing in the results which should make the overall league positions more interesting towards the end of the series.//
////
//Apologies to a number of the earlier competitors who could not find #22. It was in a vulnerable position so I had put it on to the back of the post to play safe. I have credited those who pointed this out. //

//Well done to Kevin Hodgson for top score of the night, but look at the battle for top honours in the Women's class. For the second event less than 10 points separate Fiona Wright and defending Champion Kate Charles. Is Kate's crown starting to slip?//
////
//The next event is in on 22nd June at Watchtree Nature reserve near Wigton. This is a completely new area to the ABC and offers a complicated network of small lanes which should provide some interesting route choices. It should be a fast race as the area is almost completely flat! //
////
//This event is also raising money for the Watchtree Wheelers Charity so come along and support a worthy cause. There will be snacks and drinks available afterwards.//
////
//See you there.//
