Event Report
Thanks very much to the select few who came along to High Newton today and I hope you enjoyed your rides as much as I enjoyed the planning. After weeks of dry weather the heavens decided to open right in the middle of the competition, but despite a liberal coating of mud and water, most of you seemed to come back smiling.
Congratulations to Tom Gibbs, who only missed 2 controls, but still managed to cover 57k in his winning ride. And a warm welcome to all the newcomers trying MBO for the first time. We would love to see you again at future events.
Many thanks to Tony & Angela BB, Sarah Goffe and Chris Bond for their invaluable and much appreciated help, and to the nice folk who look after the beautifully maintained High Newton village hall. And particular thanks to all of you competitors, who's appreciative comments make it all worthwhile. See you next time!
