Event Report
On a day we were promised torrential rain the weather once again proved the forecasters wrong. As the first of the competitors pulled into the car park the sun broke through the clouds. By the time the last of the riders had started it had become a really nice day!!!//
//With most of the high scoring controls to the Southeast in Moreton Forest, this was where most of the riders headed first. The more adventurous then headed up for a loop around Black Hill in the Northeast before returning toward the Finish and if time permitted nipped up for a quick loop around the very fast firetracks of Puddletown Forest to the West.//
//With all the riders back safely, coated in mud and huge smiles, the results revealed a very close battle for the top spot with only 38 points from a possible 600 separating the top spot. Ifor Powell held the lead at this half way point, but with the ever consistant Matt Jepson & Janet burroughes close behind and with Jon Brooke riding on his home patch tomorrow could he hang on to the lead?//
//With all the competitors gone off to their overnight stays, it was time for my race to start, transfering todays controls to tomorrows sites. with this completed without complications we were soon back home sipping a well deserved pint before getting our head down to start it all again tomorrow!!!//
////
//The only negative point to come out of todays event was a farm gate not being closed properly (possibly by a member of the public, possibly by one of us) allowing the farmers livestock to wander out the feild resulting in him taking one of our controls hostage and BMBO having to pay out a goodwill sum. Please make sure all gates are securely fasten behind you to aviod this in future.//
////
//This event was the final event in the Pedal Mad & Somerset MBO SouthWest League in which Ifor Powell ran away with the Solo Category and Matt Jepson and Janet Burroughes took the Pairs. Well done to them, and to everyone who took part in the League this season, and we hope to see you all again next season when the new League kicks off on Dartmoor in September.//
