After 3 weeks of uneventful weather and nice fast trails, Friday night decided to bring sleet and snow! Saturday morning weather was much improved but the roads and trails were left wet and slushy.
Despite this we had a total of 30 riders who braved the conditions and, I hope, enjoyed getting wet, cold and dirty for 2 hours. Thankfully everyone got round safely.
Congratulations to class winners: Generation – Steve and Ben Collins 330pts, Ladies – Karen Blackburn 256pts, Mixed – Andrea & Steve Foster 285pts, Senior Men – Duncan Archer 390pts, Veteran Men and Overall – Martin Vesty 397pts.
Thanks to everyone who turned up despite the conditions, with special thanks to Adrian & Jemima Parker for bringing the Maps & Descriptions and helping me set up signage etc.

Finally just a quick reminder that the next event is at the Squinting Cat, Harrogate on the 16th February.

The event is definitely ON but snow is forecast all night at Hovingham. Please make your own decision as to whether to travel once you have seen the early morning forecast and road conditions. If you decide not to travel then you will get free entry into the next Nymbo event at Harrogate. Hope to see you in the morning!

The trails around the Hovingham area, which were rather wet in places in December when I planned the course, are now drying up nicely.
If the weather holds we should have a nice fast course.
