Tom Gibbs cleared up in just over 4 hours to win overall and top M50. Sue Booth rode well again to finish as the top scoring lady over 2 days. Andy Conn was 2nd but top M60, David Day won M70 while Claire & David were the top mixed pair. Congratulations to Chris Goodwin who scored 410 points at his first event riding with his dad. Mike Hayward and Sheila Pearce both scored well again in the ebike category. The combined scores are on the News page.
I thoroughly enjoyed checking all of these bridleways again earlier this summer as it's such a beautiful area, Thanks for the positive comments when you finished despite some more dodgy route choices. Preston Moor caused problems again this time and I've reported the 'footpath' sign on the bridleway south of #24 which is confusing. Unfortunately we've had to deduct points from 3 riders for using tracks which were clearly marked as out of bounds at #13 and #3 as well as one rider who went off the map to get to #21.
Thanks to the keepers on Grinton, Bolton and Preston Moors keepers for welcoming us while using the public bridleways and allowing us to use their private estate tracks. Thanks again to the Dales Bike Centre for making us welcome and providing excellent refreshments and prizes.
Hope to see you at another NYMBO event this year.
