Event Report
Dennis didn't stop 17 hardy souls (including two foot orienteers) turning up at Root's Farm Shop & Café for 2 hours of fun and games in weather that was not as bad as predicted!
A good ride could have avoided all bridleways but being mountain bikers some were tackled and one in particular caused problems : (
However, all came back safe and sound (eventually) and those who had pre-ordered hot soup and a sandwich were quickly in good spirits.
Thanks to all those behind the scenes who make these events possible, thanks to those who turned up and thanks to Root's for being so helpful.
I may have been a bit disingenuous about at least one of the bridleways, the one west of 27! I think all those who rode it regretted it, some more than others!
Apart from that, and one or two slight quibbles about the wording or the position of controls, I think all you brave souls seemed to enjoy yourselves? It was sheer hell sitting in the cabin with nothing to do but try and work out an optimum route and drink coffee and eat cake
Thanks to Roots Cafe for being good hosts and to you for leaving a good impression.
