Dave Lloyd’s Planner’s update:

• All controls are situated on or close to a minor road or a forest road which should provide fast, but not necessarily the shortest routes in in any conditions except snow.
• Anything off the main tracks at this time of year will be slow or very slow and some of the steep sections very technical.
• With the event centre based at the Keldy cafe, there will be the luxury of hot drinks snacks and light meals before and afterwards.
• All paths and tracks around the site are out of bounds except for the forest roads going north and west and the service road from the south.
• Helpers should follow the signs to and park outside of reception.
• The main parking will be on the High Muffles forest road north of the cafe.
• This will also be one of the two route choices from the start and back to the finish so please take care whilst changing and when finishing.

Winter events flier here

if you can cast your mind back to Terrington in March maybe that’s the event you’d choose?

Or perhaps the sunshine that made the Stainforth, Dalby Forest and even the last event at Nidderdale just a bit more pleasant?

Perhaps you only rode one or two events this year so have made selection easy?

Whatever your reason, please vote for your favourite event  this year and add any comments that might help plan next years events.

Usually I prefer a forest event, but having either missed a few this year it’s a toss up between Stainforth and Nidderdale…. where I found these sheep blocking my path.

Poll is open until Friday November 11th, please cast your vote by then.
