Event Report
Black Mountain MBO – Winter Wanderland 2016
Thank you Ian Kennett for putting together the final Winter Wanderland Event of the Season in the Wentwood on Sunday, a cracking area, cracking event to finish on and well worth a visit again in the future. Despite the poor forecast weather was pretty kind staying dry throughout the event, and if you had time to look south the views of the Severn Estuary where epic.
Again it was great see a full breath of ages & experience take part, something that has been an especially strong feature of our whole winter series.
The Overall Results are below and the others can be found in the Results Events section on BMBO Website:
1st - Nick Dallimore (M60) - 349 pts
2nd - Clare Dallimore (W21) - 333 pts
3rd - James Brown (M21) - 330 pts
It seems a long time ago that I first responded to a Facebook question asking about events through the winter with a tentative mmmmmmaybe. To be honest I was a little anxious as to whether the format would work and on the back of the poor turn out for the Bike O event last winter it certainly wasn't something I was prepared to do on my own.
On reflection we are very pleased we decided to run the Winter Wanderland as a mini Series, it certainly proved very popular. We hope those that tried us out for the first time will come and have a go at the longer format events this year starting with the first BM MBO 2016 - 3 ½ hour Series Event in Pandy 10 Apr 16. Although a bit longer the format will be exactly the same and you can even chat about you route over some food and drink after.
The final league results are now on the Black Mountains Website, well done to all, medals for the winners and all riders who rode in a minimum of 2 events will be distributed at the Award Ceremony straight after the Pandy Event next week and the winners are:
1st - Nick Dallimore (M60) - 200 + 93
