Event Report
Lighthorne Longhorn - THE RETURN 15th May 2022
With an ever changing forecast the trails stayed in perfect condition having had little rain over the previous week or so. On the day one shower of rain dampened the later starters but didn't alter the trail conditions.
A variety of tracks from grass, crops, farm roads, gravel roads, wooded trails and deeply rutted tracks challenged the riders with some fast sections and some areas where bike handling skills were needed.
An altered map area, due to a horse event using the same bridleways, left a more condensed area, some riders thought it may be possible to clear the 30 controls. This proved not to be possible with Ifor Powell and Nuno Cerquiera clearing 23 controls and Mark Rowley clearing 22 controls. The results were then down to their timing. Ifor 1st, Mark 2nd and Nuno 3rd.
Some great rides from newcomers and young riders.
