ProvisionalFixtures2014 – Google Drive
Here is an amended provisional list of fixtures for next year with suggested dates, venues and planners. Thanks to everyone who has offered to plan an event. They’re all filled now! This is only a draft list so please get back to me if you would like to see any changes.
Swaledale Blank Map
Here is the map of Saturday’s area. There are 40 controls on the permanent course so plenty of route choice and don’t forget your pen to write down the letter at each control as we are not using SI for this event.
We have got 30 pre-entries so please enter online by Thursday evening then we can print enough copies for everyone. We will be able to print extra maps on the day if necessary but we have only got an A4 printer and it’s an A3 map!
Please try to get an early start if you are intending to go to the BMBO AGM afterwards and leave enough time for an excellent lunch at the Dsles Bike Centre cafe. Hope to see you there.
Let’s hope the fine weather continues as the tracks have dried out nicely this week
It’s a week until the first winter event at the Dales Bike Centre at Fremington, and also the BMBO AGM. So, this seems like a good time to close the poll on the favourite league event of 2013.
The winner, but only just, is Dalby Forest in September – could that have edged it because of the great weather and the high scores I wonder?
Thanks to everyone who voted.
The dates for the three winter MBO events are now confirmed as:
The exact locations (i.e. the pubs) will be confirmed shortly. The draft details with entry information can be found here; you can enter for the November event now and you’ll be able to enter for the January & February events on the BMBO site soon.

Next year, I am thinking of awarding handicap prizes at each event. This would be free entry to the following event in 5 categories – Senior Men (inc Generation) , Veteran Men (Over 50), Women, Mixed, Newcomers. I worked out your average scores before Masham and used them to create your handicap. I have attached the theoretical results for Masham so please have a look and see what you think. Your handicap would move up or down after each event by 1% for every 10 points you were better or worse than the best (net) score on the day. (The main prizes at the end of the year would still be for the best riders in each age group).
