Event Report
Event 2 smashed & in the bag to start off the 2020 3 hour Small Area Format (SAF) events. The Wye Valley offers a great variation of trails but I think we can all agree that the main theme of this event was mud! That said there was still plenty of spotty faced smiles at the end, so the sense of shared experience over a warming cuppa clearly made up for it.
Well done to the 50+ riders that took part, given the conditions a clearance was well off the cards so anyone who got anywhere near 50% of the Controls can be extra chuffed. Will Dixon (M21) put in another strong performance to take the top spot with 359 closely followed by Ifor Powell (M50) on 350. Tom Hards (M21) was 3rd with 345 & the first female was Iwona Szmyd (W40) on 295.
Congratulations also to the other class winners, the full results and latest league standings after 2 events have also been published and are available via the links below this report. If you notice any inaccuracies please let us know.
Thank you to the caterers Amanda and Verda for the excellent grub, also to Andy, Chris, Ifor, Julia, Richard and Si who helped collect in the CPs at the end. We had a very generous kitty for our chosen charity and £90 will go to Severn Area Rescue Association.
The next event will be up at English Bicknor on Sunday 9th Feb, normal early entry and helper discounts apply.
Once again thank you all for coming and see you next time.
