Event Report
The Meriden event having been cancelled due to significant Ice in early January went ahead on its 2nd attempt. Thankfully no ice to contend with this time, just plenty of wind !
With Meriden being located at the south of the map and a strong southerly wind, everyone was flying and feeling good until turning to start their homeward leg and then it hit them. Suddenly it was time to re-calibrate what was achievable. Congratulations to Andy Waller who managed to clear all but 1 of the Check points. Most riders returned very tired, but I think everyone who rode yesterday was a winner in challenging conditions. Great to see some new riders, hope you will be back for more at some point. A well earned brew and stories of what if....thanks to all who helped out on the day, hope you can all make our first MBO score of the season at Smisby in 3 weeks time. Phil Upton
