Don’t forget to renew your BMBO membership and if you had entered for the cancelled Slingsby event in February please email me.

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.

Comments from David Day – the planner for this event

We return to Sawley village hall this year, last used in 2011. The area slopes from purple heather moors in the west to Studley deer park in the east. At the time of writing the bridleways are in excellent condition and the views fantastic. Many bridleways cross farmland – please close all gates; also used are quiet minor roads but the B 6265 passes through the centre of the area, there will be some traffic on this but optimum routes do not follow this road.

Points to remember, all marked on the map:

• In the north there is 1 ford over the River Laver where there is no footbridge which I have never successfully cycled through due to it’s cobble bottom, there may be cyclists out there who can do better …..
• The bridleway bridge north of Woodfield House is closed but optimum routes do not go that way.
• There is a useful door in the north wall of Studley deer park.

For this event I plan to use ‘gripples’ to secure the controls, they are the foot O version of our wires, they are much thinner and it is easier to put your dibber in the SI box, also quicker to put out & take in – let us know what you think to them.
Food is being sold by the ladies of the village hall – please support them whilst waiting for prize giving after the event.

The next two events are on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th September.
