The course map for Saturday is the previous post here – likely that given the recent storms the tracks will be muddy!
Please make sure you have the latest version of MapRun installed (you can switch between the new look and the classic one in the menu).

GARMIN WATCH USERS – please make sure to logout of Garmin Connect and then log back in to ensure MapRun can consistently get results from Garmin after the event.
Start/Finish are shown on the picture below. For this event, we’re using public car parks in Pateley Bridge (all fairly cheap around £3 max for the duration of event).
The event centre is the Wildings Riverside Cafe – please support the cafe after the event!!
Any entry-on-the-day riders will be dependent on any no-shows and leaving when everyone has picked up their map! From previous experience it’s likely there will be 1 or 2 maps available. Please email if you’re thinking of turning up!!
Finally, a quick reminder to make sure you have appropriate emergency kit for our events, we ask that all riders have an emergency blanket, whistle and first aid kit.
Start / Finish
This will be the first event of our winter series and will use the new 40 control format a total score of 1000 . The tracks are riding well and are mainly hard pack , route choice will be the critical factor and how many lumps you want to go up without being too late back , whilst the event centre is in the centre of the map there are very few bridleways south of the river and thus fewer controls as I have tried to avoid gratuitous in and out controls! More details to follow next week…

Big shout out to Yorkshire Dales Brewing Company and the Dales Bike Centre for their support of our events and the prizes – please support them when you can!
Thanks to all of our planners for ensuring we have different, challenging and enjoyable courses each month and the time taken to survey all of the courses and prepare the map. It’s a team effort making NYMBO happen and we couldn’t do it without all of the voluntary contributions that everyone makes. The weather can make a big difference to the success of our events – in 2026 we have had very good conditions for every event, which makes a nice change!!
We have a full programme of winter events, online entries are open for the next one in Pateley Bridge on the 31st October, and next year’s league is nearly finalised. All dates on the website. This is the first time we’ve been so prepared!!
A successful partnership with Claro for some runners at joint events has worked well and we will continue that into the winter season.
There were no league prizes for any under 40 category this year – we always need to encourage others to join but it’s becoming very apparent that we need to get some younger riders involved if the league is to have a long-term future – ideas welcome.
Provisional results on BMBO site here and full tracks available on MapRun here so you can evaluate you took the best route! Any corrections to Tim ASAP please and no later than Tuesday.
Unfortunately, the recent MapRun app seems to have caused an issue for Garmin watch users – we’re waiting feedback from MapRun on that.
Here’s Conrad’s planners report:
Great to see such a big turnout for the final summer series event with a healthy contingent from Cleveland Wheelers. The weather was amazing and the views from Beadlam Rigg were breathtaking if you managed to get up there (top north west of the map).
The planning has been easy as the tracks have been so dry for the last 6 months making recce rides an absolute joy.
There were some big scores today and thank you for your kind comments on the event.
Well done to everyone. A big thank you to Fadmoor Village Hall and to Tim and Dave R for their support leading up to the event.
Hope to see you soon. Happy and safe riding.
Jill and Conrad Ellison
It’s a fairly busy event for us on Saturday so highly unlikely that there will be any Entry on the Day. Please get in touch if you missed the online entry deadline.
Mobile signal at the village hall isn’t great – so please make sure to download the MapRun course before you leave home. It’s in the usual place and the QR code is below.

This year’s event will cover Sleighholme Dale, Kirkdale as well as tracks over towards Lastingham.
I’ve ridden the tracks this week and they’re already nettle and bramble free and fast and dry.
The event is from Fadmoor Village Hall and we’re looking forward to seeing you. It’s a 3 hour event followed by the prize giving for the end of Summer series.
Blank course map and other event details will be posted about a week before the event!

John Dixon planned another excellent course around High Paradise Farm. Here’s his report:
Over 40 riders turned out for a day blessed with good weather, dry tracks (mostly) and excellent catering as a reward for all the ups and downs on offer.
It was a large area and that meant riders had to decide where to concentrate their efforts with little chance of bagging all the controls. I was satisfied that the top scores were quite consistent in the mid 300s and achieved by different routes.
My first question as the riders came back was “did you enjoy it?” to which the answer was nearly always “yes”.
Thanks to Tim for an excellent map and to High Paradise for hosting the event.
Final event of the main season is at Fadmoor on October 3rd – entries open now for earlybird discounts 25% off until Monday 28th Sept.
