Event: Malham Show MTBO
 

Malham show 4 hour Mtbo. Phone ran out of battery after 3 hours so another Maprun fail. Potential for rain so had put phone in a plastic bag I assume this led to enough false touches so the screen never went off. I did over 5 hours the other week and still had 60% left so it should be easy.

Fun riding as normal around here. Big 300m climb out of the start then non standard route of down and all the way along half height track instead of rough descent straight towards Settle this let me get all those CPs and then the award one in the middle. Road south then through Settle and steep climb to dog leg the 30 pointer but lower bit of track all fast. Loop back through town in about 2 hours. Then up northwest for some new terrain with some nice fast Tracks to ride.

Heading back East with some big climbs to do clearly not getting them all so Skipped 3 and the obvious skip of 200m rough climb for 29. phone died just after 18. 23 realy good momentum through the dip and up double arrow hill 13. Trying to judge time as passing half hour to go point but was going fast on the flatter top bit with tail wind so starting to commit to final loop. 7 22 skip two 5 pointers. With Martin at gate committing to loop 6 25 lost chain two times here allowing Martin to get back infront of me twice skipped 10 as trying not to do max efforts Amy more and this would of had me late. Got back past Martin as the final climb had him pushing but I managed to carry the momentum up the bottom half.

In about on time as well as I can tell. 470 points if I have counted right. Tom cleared it so at least 55 down on him.

98.808km with 1442m climb in 4:54:14. Wye Valley wanderings. Good to have properly working gears with new cables and shifter fitted yesterday. Very steady but a reasonable distance with some climbs. Road down from Devauden past ponds is properly shut had to revers and take the gravel contouring forest track for 2 miles as opposed to climbing back up. Avoided the heavy rain which was evident in places.
