Event Report
For the second year running the "North Herts Navigator" returned to Breachwood Green and whilst the map was the same, new bridleways further north were used.
Nearly 70 riders took part and they had a great network of dry trails to ride on a warm October day !! to find the 27 check points that were all located off road. Every one enjoyed it and there were many new entrants to the sport. All had their own stories to tell afterwards whilst they enjoyed the spread of food that was included in the event entry and raised £155 from donations for the "Herts Air Ambulance".
Congratulations to Mark Rowley who came 1st he missed just 1 checkpoint and was 6 mins late having covered 38.6 miles on the fast dry trails with the other podium places being taken by Mark Humphrey and Phil Upton.
Mark Rowley traveled down from Stoke and said " I came down not expecting much thinking it would be flat and so on but boy was I wrong. Brilliant bridleways and yourself and Ralph put on a great event"
With one more round to go the Midlands MBO championship is down to a battle between Mark Rowley and Ian Cartwright which means a great final round at Yelvertoft on 25th October.
Thanks go to Ralph for doing the map and entries / results on the day along with Henry and Zak also to Ann and Lesley for doing the great buffet at the finish.
I hope to see you all again when the event returns next year many thanks for making it a successful event Michael & team
