Event Report
Putting out the controls for the Woodbury event on Friday was a very wet and cold affair. Due to the bike still being off the road it was down to me to run around the course putting them out, needless to say I was a little fed up when I got home and tad concerned no one would come if the weather (as forecasted) was the same on Saturday. Waking up bleary eyed the next morning I was pleased to see that the weather was looking a lot better than the previous day filling me with hope that the entrants would actually turn up and thankfully you all did.
This event saw much higher numbers and lots of new faces. The first people to go out left at 8.55am and by 10.30 am all 57 entrants were out and we busied our selves cutting up cake and putting out chairs for everyone’s return happy to see that it was staying dry for you all.
As everyone started to get back, very muddy and tired, we started to compile the results.
The score's were quite high especially considering that the course was so sodden and muddy.
Looking at the results, it seems tackling the steep climb up to Mutters Moor early on while legs were fresh was the thing to do !!!
Third place went to Harry Goode and Frank Rowsell, new comers to our events scoring a very respectful 409 points. Second place went to Ifor Powell who with a score of 451 was pipped to the post by 6 points by Nick Dellimore who had a winning score of 457 out of a possible 600 points.
Other winner were:
Fiona Boyd – Solo Female with 349 points
Janet Burroughes & Matt Jepson – Mixed pairs with 340 Points
Adam Meehan – M21 with 271 points
Ifor Powell – M40 with 451 points
Nick Dellimore – M50 with 457 points
Nick Hockey – M60 with 280 Points
Harry Goode & Frank Rowsell – Pairs with 409 points
Many Thanks to all of you for making it such a fantastic day.
