Proof that the Hunton event was a great November day for a ride

Alun Powell made this excellent video of his ride at the Hunton Treasure Hunt event – the cold and a bit windy balanced out with blue skies and sunshine just to show what a good morning it was to be out on your bike. Perhaps this might encourage you to come along to the next event at Tadcaster on December 12th starting from the Coach & Horses.  Thanks Al!

Blank map for Hunton – Saturday 21st November

Here’s the blank map for Hunton on Saturday, entries here, details and flier here – fingers crossed for a dry day…

As you can see, there aren’t many bridleways on the map but plenty of quiet country lanes which is just as well considering the recent wet weather. All types of bikes are welcome but you will need a mountain bike to get to 6 of the controls. We have only got 20 pre-entries. Online entries close at midnight on Wednesday so that Jens can print enough maps and 10 spare for entry on the day. It’s just started raining yet again but the forecast for Saturday is cool but dry with sunny intervals although there will be a 15 mph northerly wind so bring plenty of kit. Hope to see you there.
