Here is the first draft for next year so please let me know what you think about the dates, venues and lengths. Thanks to everyone who offered to plan one of these events. If you were thinking of volunteering you will have to wait until 2014!!

NYMBO League 2013draft

I have not approached any landowners for permission or checked with BMBO so please do not circulate them as there will be changes. The organisers of OvergroundUnderground at Ingleton have asked if we could hold the event on Monday instead of Saturday. It is a bank holiday but what do you think? Andrew Windrum is also planning an MTBO (linear) event near York on October 20th (provisionally). The draft NEMBOS fixtures are also available on the NEMBOS site.

Hope to see you at Bishop Wilton on December 8th

Hambleton Inn Results

Please let me know if there are any mistakes in the results.

53 riders enjoyed the autumn sunshine.

It was still foggy as the first riders arrived at the top of Sutton Bank but fortunately the sun burnt off the mist before the first riders started – unlike our previous visit in August when only 1 rider set off. Thanks to John Dixon for checking the course and running the start and finish which allowed me to get out for a proper ride. I rode non-competitively as I suggested a few changes to the course for the August event so I had a good idea which way I wanted to go but I now know that I can’t ride 46k in 2 hours. Like many riders I was late partly due to the tough climb back up to the Hambleton Inn but also due to the brilliant weather, stunning scenery and picturesque villages in this corner of North Yorkshire.
Congratulations to the winners and hopefully we will see as many riders at the next event which is on Saturday 8th December at the Fleece Inn in Bishop Wilton on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds.
I am starting to sort out the programme for next year so please let me know if you would like to plan an event. I am intending to organise a similar series of 9 events with 5 to count and a mixture of 3,4 and 5 hour events. There will be a Novice (half-price) option next year instead of the 2 hour course which didn’t work. Please let me know if you want to see any other changes or want to suggest any new areas.
It is the BMBO AGM at Eyam next Saturday so please attend if you can – or let the committee know your views on anything involving our sport so that it can be discussed.
Hopefully, I’ll see you at another event soon
Steve
PS We have got the same 5 planners for the NEMBOS league which will defintely run from April to September next year

There are 31 pre-entries for the first event of the winter so please enter online by Thursday or send an email to book a map. John Dixon has checked his course and the forecast isn’t bad. It’s a great area so hope to see you there.
