Event Report
Thanks to Will Wilson, Dennis Jaques, Sheila Pearce, John Dixon and Mike Barnard for helping me put out the controls on Saturday and the Dales Bike Centre for another warm welcome. The weather was even better than Saturday which made it hard to believe how bad the storm had been a month ago. Incredibly, the bridge over Cogden Gill had been replaced so we could get onto Redmire and Preston Moors although most riders opted for the Swale Trail as a gentle start. I didn't have a cunning plan. I just check out the bridleways then spread out the controls on the better ones. Graham and Mark both left out one (different) control so hopefully the course was just the right length.
Sadly, #51 was stolen before the early riders arrived but Carl Vincent found it in the river so was able to replace it for the later riders. Please accept my apologies for #31 being on the wrong gate and for the incorrectly drawn track NE of #56. I hope it didn't spoil your ride.
Congratulations to the Combined Winners who received a voucher for one night's stay at the Dales Bike Centre.
