Event Report
It was almost spring-like in the Howardian Hills once the early morning mist had lifted and it was great to see the tracks clear of snow for the first time at an event this winter. Dave Robertson had planned another cracking course giving us a sensible option between country lanes and bridleways. The Malt Shovel is always a welcoming event centre and the weather forecast brought out 51 riders including 10 novices. I enjoyed my ride until my rear mech jammed into my spokes at #24 so I limped home with a shortened chain only 10 minutes late.
Congratulations to the category winners - Tim Evans, John Rawden, Kathryn Lazonby, Steve Roberts & Karen Clark, Adrian & Nathan Parker.
They will be posting their routes on the NYMBO website.
Our next event is the first league event of the season in the Yorkshire Wolds on Saturday 23rd March. The event centre is at Woldgate College in Pocklington and Dave Evans is checking out the bridleways this weekend so hope to see you there.
The NYMBO and NEMBOS league fliers are posted on the web sites. Please print them off and take them to your local bike shop/club and get more riders to our events. We enjoy them and I am sure they will too.
