Event Report
Great Strickland, in the Eden valley saw 38 intrepid riders turn out for Round 6 of the 7 event series of the newly formed LMBO club. The weather promised to be awful but in reality it was errr awful. There were a few glimpses of sky but mostly, the bridleways had had a good rehydrating. First went to Nuno Cerqueira on 470 points out of an available 520. (two controls were removed due to a flooded ford crossing the River Lyvennet). First ebike was Stephen Morriss on 480.
As am organiser of previous events you would think I'd anticipate that riders could find routes on unadopted 'white' roads. As the map says. ...no evidence of a right of way..' A few more red crosses from me perhaps.
There was a warm and cheery welcome from the Strickland Arms; styled a bicyclers pub in the Eden valley. Excellent food.
We're hoping for better weather at the next and final round in Langdale on 17th October inst. get your entries in.
