Event Report
Drumlanrig lived up to the expectation of being a fantastic new area for MBO; great trails, great setting and great weather to top it all off! The terrain turned out to be pretty dry and fast, and it was easy to get carried away on such wonderful trails. Phil’s courses threw in a bit of everything on offer, including some ‘off-piste’ riding in the sheep-nibbled grasslands overlooked by Drumlanrig Castle. In the Men’s, the main pack finished in around 35 - 37 minutes, so even just small mistakes were costly. But it was Killian Lomas who took the title with an amazing ride to win by nearly two minutes, knocking everyone else out of the 105% selection criteria! The favourite in the Women’s, Emily Benham, did not disappoint and retained her title with a significant winning margin of 3 minutes over the Vet Men and 6 minutes over the next woman.
