Malham 2023

Here’s Simon’s report from Saturday at Malham:

I hope you all enjoyed the change of course this year at Malham.
Given the amount of rainfall this year, I felt that venturing west would guarantee the best tracks and riding conditions with the bonus of stunning scenery.

Course wise, I wanted to give scope for varied route choice whilst trying to temp plenty to the brilliant tracks around Austwick. Judging by the many positive comments at the finish everyone enjoyed their rides despite the hills!

On the day we were blessed with great weather with only a few falling foul of the showers and hail on the tops towards the end.

Tom Gibbs & Tim Evans trophy presentation

Congratulations to all category winners and particularly Tom Gibbs who ‘cleared up’ with less than two minutes to spare to retain the splendid Malham trophy.

Massive thanks to Tim Evans for his help with the mapping and registration and also Dave Robertson for the Web updates.

Thanks also to Chris Wildman for his help with the venue at Malham Show and the National Park Centre for use of the green.

Thanks for everyone’s patience whilst we sort out the results. Needless to say, the settings for Cropton, Swaledale and Wykeham & Broxa will be double checked!

MapRun results and tracks are here

Revised scores are in the spreadsheet here with a final version due asap.
