Mountain Bike Orienteering

Out on the Yorkshire Wolds early this morning putting out controls for the event tomorrow. Fortunately both the weather and riding conditions were good. Richard acted as taxis driver dropping me off and the meeting me at prearranged points having put out the more accessible controls on foot.

Early start tomorrow to get the last, more vulnerable controls out and then man the start and finish. Competitors will have four hours to visit as many controls as they can. Each control has a value and the challenge is to score as many points as you can in the time limit. Late arrivals are given a time penalty.

Lucky that the weather tomorrow is mild and dry. Think I may sleep well tonight!
