Event Report
After the rain of last weekend at the Yorkshire events today provided a total contrast. Setmurthy can be a real mud bath for most of the year but the paths and tracks were as dry as I have ever seen them. When checking the courses earlier in the week I actually upgraded the rideability of several of the paths. As expected the 6.9km course took longer than people would anticipate due the generally rough terrain in the forest. Numerous ditches, roots and fallen branches made sure of that. Some of the paths were quite vague on the ground and those who were more aware of their surroundings had the advantage. Counting off the ditches in some areas was the key to good navigation.//
//Congratulation to Ian Nixon who led the way and almost met the expected winning time. On the C course, up and coming rider Ben Houlihan, showed that he has potential by coping well with some of the technical controls shared with the A course.//
//Tomorrow the action moves to south Lakes and Grizedale Forest for a very different style of riding. //
//Let's hope the weather holds!//
