Blue skies at Control 29

Galphay Report

Now updated with control map

Almost 50 riders descended on the gloriously sunny but cold village of Galphay for NYMBO’s latest MapRun event although those that ventured into the SE corner found Ripon shrouded in fog. The frozen ground improved what would otherwise have been muddy BWs. The intricacies of MapRun are obviously being mastered by NYMBO riders – all of them are showing in the results although there will have to be some manual adjustments where riders are more than 5 minutes late. Nearly all tracks are visible on MapRun to enable riders to compare their routes, if yours is missing please try to upload onto MapRun [try saving your track as a GPX file & uploading this onto MapRun].

The maximum distance covered was 51km & there was a great variation of route choice; all controls were visited. 8 riders managed more than 8 points per kilometre ridden but top of this list was Jemima Parker with 8.97 pts/km.

Winners at Galphay were:

• M: Martin Edwards = 396
• MVet60: Paul Dobson = 310
• W: Claire Riley = 276
• MIX: Sally Buckworth & Saul Muldoon = 256
• GEN & Youth: Miesko Lichtarowicz & James Harrison with Isaac Pressley = 265

Our thanks to The Galphay Inn & host Chris for hosting & feeding us after the event, we did fill the pub! Also thanks to Tom Simpson for recovering a Garmin bike computer mistakenly left on a wall by another rider. Due to the BMBO payment system not being operational a lot of work prior to the event was done by Tim Evans & Dave Robertson, and on the day Tim did a great job on registration – thank you both for making my planner’s work much easier.

If you did not pay on the day or carry out a bank transfer please do this ASAP.

SELECT EVENT: UK – North Yorkshire – NYMBO – Winter 2022 – NYMBO Galphay

Plan of the start/finish is below riders need to note that once handed the map they are expected to go straight to the start not loiter around.

The finish is on a road close to the pub but that you are very unlikely to pass during the race NOT at the pub, The map is clear.

Happy New Year everyone! Hopefully your key resolution for 2023 is to ride a few more NYMBO events!!

We start this year with another of our two hour Winter Series events, this time at Galphay Moors, organised by David Day.

Event centre is The Galphay Inn, HG4 3NJ

We will be using the minor roads around Galphay & some hard surface bridleways, there will always be an option to avoid softer areas. 2 map notes that are important – a deep ford with a cobble bottom can be found at the west of the area, don’t try to go through; there is a door in the N wall of Studley Deer Park which can be used by bikes, both these are marked on the map. Take care on the B road runs through the south part of the map

Car parking: There is no car park of any size at the pub, please park tidily in the village with respect for residents.

Food is available at the pub, it will help the pub if we let them know our food selections in advance. The menu is below – if you’ve already entered please drop an email with your selection; otherwise please include your choice on the entry form.

Reserve your map using the web form here (deadline Thursday 19th)

The BMBO online entry system is still being fixed for payments, so please either complete a bank transfer (details will be sent separately if you don’t have them), or pay cash on the day (correct amount appreciated)
