Pateley Bridge course map – Saturday October 31st

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…

Another successful summer for the NYMBO League!! Now for the Winter Series…

The NYMBO 2026 league is completed and the winners have all been awarded their prizes! Over eight events, we’ve had a combined total of 403 riders entering events and an average of fifty riders at each event – with Tony Thornley’s Addingham course attracting the most entries.

M50 – Andy Gregg
M60 – Andy Conn
M70 – David Day
W50 – Carmen Elphick

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.

High Paradise Farm results & report

Results from High Paradise Farm are here  and you can see all the routes taken on MapRun here

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.

NYMBO Summer Season – Event 6 –  Scarborough

Event 6 of the summer series saw 49 riders take on the bridleways, green lanes and quiet roads north of Scarborough. The air was clear from recent rain and riders were rewarded by a number of sea views on the course. The controls were scattered around Harwood Dale to the west of the main Whitby Scarborough road and Staintondale to the east.

There were some high scoring rides with most of these taking a clockwise route up into Harwood dale and enjoying the fast downhill ride back on and around the cinder track cycleway. Despite the torrential overnight rain there were no reports of large muddy sections on the course and the event remained dry for all riders.

Thanks to Jon Purdy for planning a great course from Scarborough with lots of route choice including The Cinder Track.

Provisional results can be found on MapRun here however there will be some changes due to a control placement error and a few uploads issues. Please report any problems asap and we’ll upload the final results later this week.

Only 5 days to the next event at Paradise farm so remember to enter if you haven’t already.
