Yarrowford Trailquest - Another Podium Finish!!

Well would you believe it! Another 2nd place in the Mens Pairs with Gary Douglas!

255 points.  Very happy with that.

Although we did miss a 30 point control by not dibbing, first place would still have been beyond our reach, but only by 5 points!

Not to worry, Alpine Bike gift voucher, High 5 energy goodies and another water bottle on their way back home.

This should put us firmly in second place overall.

The event was organised by Walter and Toni of MTB-Borders.  It was a 4hr event (normally only 3hrs) as it was part of the British Championship.  A tricky course for their first event.

Gary's now an old hand after completing his second event. 

His map reading skills still left a lot to be desired, but even after 4 hours, he maintained a steady pace.

From MTB-Borders, In the Women's Solo's Mitch McFarlane finished 5th with 170 points on her first event.

In the Generation section, Ellie and Richard Scott got 3rd with 60 points.

In the mixed pairs, Keith and Lynne Brydon strengthened their lead at the top of the table with 308 points. 

Next Trailquest is Wark - Sunday 4th September.

Next event for me is The CRC Selkirk Marathon - Sunday 24th July - but not before 2 weeks in sunny Spain.
