Event Report
With a very wet forecast and, this the only event of the series being based in a campsite and not a building, we were not looking forward to this event at all. But what does the BBC and 'Met Man Moonie' know about the weather anyway? All our attempts to waterproof the event HQ were in vain as not a drop of water was to be seen or felt. Indeed we were treated to a glorious orange sunset over the Solway as we collected the controls. The weather gods once again look favourably on the ABC. //

//The event covering the Lorton Valley and the villages out to the West provided some of the closest competition yet and leaves the final league honours still undecided. There is only one point in the overall men's category and only 3 points separating the top two women. With it being so close and all to play for it be down to a puncture to decide the honours as we go into the final event! Full results are on www.bmbo.org.uk.//

//Thanks to the Wheatsheaf Inn for managing to squeeze us in on what proved to be a very busy night for them even without us! The reports that we received on the food were very complimentary. //
////
//The final event is at Mawbray on 12th July. A very different type of course is on offer. Fast and flat but watch out if it is windy.//
////
//Do not forget that it is the prize giving afterwards and we have more than ever to give away this year. Not to be missed. //
////
//We will also be asking for your nominations for your favourite charities to support so have a think and let us know.//

//Entries are already open. See you there.//
