Event Report
The course stayed south of the river on Sunday but the morning views didn't look any better than on Saturday. Fortunately, the rain eased off and the wind didn't get any stronger so I hope you could enjoy the better riding conditions.
All riders (except Andy Conn) realised that they would have to ignore either the SW or SE part of the map but most decided to enjoy a stunning ride up or down Apedale and hopefully the estate track on Bolton Moor.
Again the tracks had softened since my last ride so I'm sorry if they caught anyone out. I must admit I didn't expect so many riders to use the tough bridleway between 23 and 25 so I wish I'd positioned 23 SW at the shooting hut. (Isn't hindsight wonderful)!!
Thanks to Grinton and Bolton estates for letting us use their private estate tracks. (Please remember that we have no right to use the track past Greenhaw Hut except on Sundays and never during the breeding season March to July).
Thanks again to the DBC for their hospitality and the cake boxes for the weekend winners. Hopefully we'll see you at our final event at Wykeham & Broxa Forest on Saturday 7th October.
Congratulations again to the leading riders on the day and here are the full combined scores.
