Event Report
37 riders turned out to compete in the CATS MBC promotion set around the South East Leicestershire / Northamptonshire & Rutland borders on the edge of the Welland Valley.
Organisers Neil Holman & Ralph Gilbert laid out a course that was both challenging as well as scenic. Utilising many of the local by-ways and bridleways giving the competitors lots of route choices both on road as well as off.
Set in very agricultural land, map reading and track navigation had to be spot on to get around the 27 checkpoint that if cleared would give the riders 500 points.
Phil Upton showed age was no barrier being a clear winner from Ralph Dadswell recovering from a year full of injuries.
As the day got on, the wind got stronger and with a head wind back to base 3 teams got caught out by all points lost.
It has been over 10 years since some of this area was last used by the Leicester Forest East Cycling Club. Next year we will venture into another forgotten area.
