Tony commented that “the area used was deliberately large to force riders to make route choices. I think I succeeded in that looking at the routes taken, but hope that the climbs were not too wearisome.

I put a lot of time into checking bridleways and control sites so I hope the map was clear and accurate.

Thanks to all those helpers who made the car parking work out, Tim for taking over the finish when I had to go off singing in Ilkley and to you all for coming.”
