Inter club Shield league - 5 out of 15 events
Posted: 28/05/23
A quick update on the Shield after the Oxted event (SLOW), and a reminder that the next Shield event is in Gloucestershire in exactly 7 days! The next 2 events will be organized by Midlands MBO, and as such central for all clubs - great riding expected.
Oxted was the first fully dry event of the season! A very enjoyable new area that surprised riders by the amount of lumpy valleys over the top of the edge. 40 riders on the day but not a lot of "visitors", despite the HQ being very close to the M25 - with only Ifor being able to score. Michael Rackham managed the top score, and even with the ebike advantage he clearly had the best route with 5km less than Nuno (2nd). Ian Cartwright closed the podium, on yet another "packed" event at the top of the sheet (17pt between 2nd and 5th). Unsurprisingly SLOW leads the league, as the only club with 2 events so far. Away scores remain quite similar between SLOW, Black Mountains and Lakes MBO - with 2 thirds of the League still to go.
