Ingleby Greenhow Results & Report

Thanks to Conrad and Jill for planning an excellent course, and for providing much needed quiche and pork pie sustenance at the end! Apologies for the slight confusion about the location of the Village Hall for parking!

Results are here – Andy Conn cleared the course in less than the 3 hour time limit and some high scores for others. We’ll clear up the duplicate entries, get in touch with any issues.

Event report:

Thank you for coming along to ride at the event. The tracks were bone dry, and the weather wasn’t too hot with a bit of cloud cover. Jill and I wanted a high scoring event with the fast riders having to worry about whether to leave isolated five pointers around the course.

Most of you seemed to enjoy getting up on the Cleveland Escarpment and around Urra Moor. The tracks were sandy in places but quick once you got going. Judging by the Maprun courses riders made use of the various routes up to and down from the escarpment.

Well done to Andy C for bagging up in 2 hours forty odd minutes and to all of you for some tough riding. We’re glad that many of you stayed for the pies and teas at the end. It’s always great to spend a bit more time catching up with our Bike O buddies.

Thank you to Ingleby Greenhow Village Hall, to the Dudley Arms for the use of their car park, to Tony Thornley for his fantastic map drawing and finally to Tim for his great help and support as ever.

Hope to see you all soon. Happy, safe riding.

Jill and Conrad Ellison

Jill has done a sterling job testing all of the grotty tracks for Conrad, and the recent weather means everything should be pretty dry! There are snacks provided at the finish as well!

In our M70 class. two riders have been out today to test the course and the map – Steve’ the cash’ Willis narrowly beat Tony ’the map’ Thornley by 10 points with a score of 440 to Tonys 430, This sets the bar for some some clear ups to happen on Saturday – they did both do 45km!

there may be an update on parking arrangements later today – it will be in this spot if you check back later

Look forward to seeing riders tomorrow, don’t forget your sunscreen!

Ingleby Greenhow – Saturday 17th June – online entry now open – course map available

Hi All,

A quick note about the next event on 17 June.  Looking forward to seeing you at the event.  I rode it yesterday to check Maprun.  The tracks are bone dry and really quick.  You can avoid nettles, brambles, hogweed and cow parsley completely.  There are still bluebells in the woods.  I’m looking forward to seeing some big scores.  The event area takes you up on the Cleveland Escarpment near Round Hill (1490ft).  Pies and quiche and refreshments will be provided at the finish.

See you there.

Conrad
