After a dull week it was great to see 56 riders take advantage of the autumn sunshine in Lower Wensleydale. The course took riders though rolling countryside and picturesque villages either side of the River Ure. John Rawden scored an excellent 350 points to win overall, Martin & Max Vesty scored an unbelievable 305 points to win the Generation class and finish 3rd overall, Alice & Neil Hamblin came over from Keswick to win the Mixed category while Karen Blackburn was first lady rider. The Buck Inn at Thornton Watlass made us very welcome and provided excellent bar meals and welcome drinks afterwards. I enjoyed planning the course (and my short ride) so looking forward to the next event at Sicklinghall on December 10th which has been planned by Tim Patterson. Hope to see you there.
