Event Report
The day dawned bright and clear, in Askrigg North Yorkshire. Following one of the coldest September nights in North Yorkshire the competitors of the OMM Polaris prepared to compete across the rolling, spectacular countryside.
The course, planned by Steve Willis, offered an excellent mix of challenging nav, difficult climbs, breath taking vistas and thrilling decents. Coupled with a fantastic map produced by Jens Strain the weekend was a great success.
The mid camp at at Carpley Green had the A class staying overnight. This took the event back to its roots and proved to be one of the biggest positives over the event. All who stayed on the side of the hill commented on the camerarderie and atmosphere and made very stong representations for the format to be repeated next year.
After two days of hard riding and many thrills and spills the winners were announced.
