It’s a pity that there were only 27 riders but they raised £200 for the Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team. Some of the tracks were a bit muddy but the weather was much better than the previous day’s cold north-westerly wind. Thanks to Jens for another excellent map which he printed free of charge, Barbara for helping me at the start and finish, FC for not charging for a permit, the Fox & Rabbit for an excellent event centre and BMBO for waiving the levy fees. Finally, a special thanks to Frank & Sandra Appleton who were the marshals at Breckon Howe then collected the rest of the controls in after the riders had passed through them.
Hopefully, we will celebrate the tenth running of this event next year with a lot more riders.

Thanks to John Dixon adding your scores from Malham and Pickering. Please let me know if there are any mistakes. There are still 4 events left so plenty of opportunity for change
James is ahead in Y18 but Nathan & Max can both score well if they get the opportunity to ride
Roy & Chris Partington have a lead of 4 points over Steve & Ben Collins but have ridden one more event
Graham Tibbott has a 40 point lead over Ben Martin in M21
There have only been 2 rides in W21 so it depends on who turns up
Phil Collings has a 22 point lead over David Cowgill and they’ve both ridden 5 events but AW and AC have only ridden 3 times this year so who knows.
Sheila Pearce has a strong lead in W40 so looks like repeating her winning ways from last year
John Rawden has a lead of 16 points over Michael Nayler but Tim Evans has averaged 85 points per event so far
Helen Bagley has a clear lead in W50
David Day has a 17 point lead over Ray Morriss in M60 but plenty of riders still in with a chance
Karen Blackburn looks like she’s going to win W60 again
Andrea & Steve Foster have a clear lead in X50 over Ralph & Chris Defty and not many teams competing in the other age groups.
All 4 courses at the OMM Bike in Swaledale on both days count for the NYMBO League. The par score will be worked out from the highest points per hour on any of the courses.
If the best score on Saturday is 700 on the Polaris then it will be 700 on Long, 500 on Short and 300 on the 3 hour course.
If the best score on Sunday is 240 points on the 3 hour course then it will be 400 points on Polaris or Long and 320 on Short
You can still enter the main event on http://www.theomm.com until September 11th and the 3 hour course on http://www.bmbo.org.uk until September 16th. Hope to see you there.
We have got 30 entries for the Moors Marathon but only 2 volunteer marshals. (Thanks, Frank & Sandra). Please let me know if you would like to marshal a checkpoint usually for 3 hours so that the riders get some refreshments on their 100k ride. It will also mean that I don’t have to collect the controls in at dawn on Monday!! Cheers, Steve
Pickering Forest Organiser’s Comments
Thanks to Michael Brough for another excellent course in a great forest which was somehow still enjoyable despite the very wet conditions. Thanks as ever to Jens for another excellent map, Barbara Willis and John Dixon for helping on the day and Ray Morriss, Andrew Windrum, Peter Swanborough and John Rawden who helped Michael collect the controls in after they had finished.
Congratulations to Andrew Windrum winning M40 (and overall) with an impressive ride visiting almost all of the controls for 495 points; Tim Evans M50-403; Sheila Pearce W40 (and first Woman)-344; John Dixon winning M60 for the first time this year-314; Steve & Andrea Foster X50 and first Mixed -293; Chris & Roy Partington Gen-210.

2015 Cropton and Newtondale 30000 Working Drawing with Controls 1st August
It was disappointing that there were only 56 riders and we need to start increasing our numbers if we are going to break even this year so please let your friends know about our events. I thoroughly enjoyed my ride despite the weather. The tracks were really tough so I didn’t have the time to get over to Needle Point once I crossed the road unlike Andrew Windrum.
We have got 4 more events this month!!
Sunday 6th September – Moors Marathon – 4 routes of 100/75/50/25k starting from the Fox & Rabbit with all profits going to the Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team. Commemorative mugs for all finishers. We have only got 25 entries so please enter online or email your details if you want to reserve a map. I still need 2 more control marshals if you would like to help.
Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th September – OMM Bike in Swaledale and all courses on both days are included in the NYMBO league. You can enter the Polaris, Long or Short courses on the OMM event site at www.theomm.com until Sept 11th. Youcan enter the 3 hour course on either day at www.bmbo.org.uk until Sept 16th. We have already had 75 pre-entries (as well as 150 runners) so it promises to be a great weekend. I have planned the courses and Jens has drawn the map.
Sunday 27th September – Cleveland Hills. Conrad & Jill have planned a cracking course from the Lord Stones Cafe at Carlton Bank.
I hope you can make it to one or more of them.
