Event Report
Last night well and truly destroyed our reputation for good weather. Riders started in the rain, rode in the rain and finished in the rain.The wet conditions made descending some of the very steep, narrow roads very treacherous at times. Pleased to say that everyone arrived back safe, sound and with smiles on their faces despite being soaked through. //
//Needless to say the scores were a bit lower this week as a result of the conditions. So it is a big well done to Alan Hartley who was closely pushed by his colleague Jack Eyre. This was the first time Jack has competed in the ABC series so now he has his eye in watch out Alan.//
//It was honours even in the Women's race with Caitlin Pearson and Fiona Wright tying for top spot. It looks like this battle is going to go all of the way to the end of the season. //
//The next event, on 12th June, makes a slight departure from normal in that we have a guest planner. Jamie & Charlie Rennie will be taking us back to one of our original venues, The Old Mill at Dearham. Meals and drinks will be available afterwards but if you are wanting hot food it would be best to go for an earlier start time.//
//Entries are open and we look forward to seeing you there. //
//Hope you have all dried out and warmed up!//
