Event was pretty good. Good marking, timings, excellent website info, friendliness and I think the dry weather helped!
However I think the xc course was rather boring - several people fell asleep and crashed! I think a cross bike would have been faster!
The organisers did try their best at including new singletrack sections but unfortunately these weren't ready for race day. It should be a really cool event when the new singletrack is included.

Solo seems a bit extreme but a team of 3 is tempting.......
Orange Blood - Orange 5SE - Marin Rocky Ridge
Great to see some Northern races appearing!

I did the Christmas cracker sportive that these guys organised and it was very good.
I'm not sure about the run for the start though at gisburn heh heh.
