Glorious weather and (mostly) dry tracks made for an excellent event at Sutton Bank yesterday. Thank to John Dixon for his planning and organising efforts – his comments below.

Provisional MapRun results are here. A couple of riders experienced some phone issues, and Tim thinks those are all resolved but please get in touch if you spot any scoring issues.

Final results will be published in the next couple of days.

Recent sunshine had dried out the tracks considerably since I test rode them a few weeks ago. More sun today tempted over 50 riders to turn out, some for the first time. Hopefully they enjoyed themselves and will try further events.

As usual, a few riders, who shall remain nameless, cleaned up or came very close to it. The rest seemed to have taken a variety of routes but for most it was an uphill finish. Despite that, there were positive remarks about the area, especially to the west, which was new to quite a few of the riders. Thanks to the Park Authority and the Bike Shop for their support
