MTBO SS#3 Bostock Reservoir

March 20, 2005

Organising Club: Bayside Kangaroos

Course Setter: John Sheahan

Organiser: Bruce Paterson

Attendance: 88

 

There were 88 competitors (including 2 runners) who experienced the perfect riding weather near Ballan and Bostock Reservoir.

Early in the planning stages we elected to use a simplified SI setup due to some challenges presented to us by the particular map. This allowed course setter John Sheahan to use the extreme criss-crossing course you rode while hopefully still providing plenty of route choice.

The SI was trialled in a more 'manual' fashion than usually employed to make it easier to use for inexperienced finish volunteers and cut down the amount of pre-event work. It did mean we had to DNF a couple of riders retrospectively once we'd checked their course order. The other disadvantage is I've had to type all the results in.

Apologies from the organisers for the incorrectly labelled control number on the course master maps for courses 1, 2 and 3. A simple transcription error that caused many of you some considerable grief!

The other innovation was the trial of pre-start controls to control the map marking time. Is this a good idea or not?

Having Registration, Start and Finish all in the one area certainly made things easier for us and I believe made it more interesting and enjoyable for those competing and helping.

Otherwise I hope you had a great ride and we hope to see you all, including beginners, back again.

I hope other clubs will consider also putting on a relatively straight-forward beginners course 5 so we can all invite along first timers or family who might be a bit apprehensive initially.

Also a huge thanks to all the BK members who helped out on the day, especially those who didn't get/want a ride.

Here are the final results:

I have deleted leg 9 from course 1, leg 3 from course 2 and leg 6 from course 3. It has caused some interesting reshuffling. Most people will find they end up pretty much as results showed on the day, but Carolyn Jackson on course 1, Peter Cusworth and Stephen Balharrie on course 2, and Jocelyn Geary and Stuart Lloyd on course 3 should be particularly happy with the modified results.

Unfortunately I had to do it all semi-manually so apologies for the delay!

To my knowledge I don't believe we've used SI-spilts to delete just a leg on any foot or mtbo events to date, so this is a first!
