Summer Series MTBO Event #3 – Emerald Sat 11 Feb

The Summer Series event at Emerald on Saturday was a great success
with 77+ people taking part and enjoying the picnic atmosphere afterwards
in the Heritage Park.

Adrian Jackson was in fine form again collecting all 20 controls in just 51.31.
Steven Cusworth was next quickest on 58.43 but failed to find control 9 after
a perhaps poorly worded control description led him to believe it had gone
missing. A total of 11 riders though found all 20 controls, although 3 of these
took over the 75 minutes to do so.

A good number of new competitors were out trying MTBO with high profile
Australian MTB endurance racer Josh Street amongst them. 
Although the map has some steep parts, competitors had the option of following
the Emerald to Cockatoo Trail and the Puffing Billy rail track to enjoy a reasonably
flat ride. Even still quite a few riders bit off more than they could chew and were
a bit late back. The gradual up hill finish didn't help there either.

The BBQ and sausage sale proved popular with proceeds going to the Emerald
Museum as thanks for them letting us use their Heritage Park and facilities.

The series format and timing seems to be proving popular with many people
asking for more, but we will be looking for feedback to help plan another
Summer Series next year. The trick will be finding more similar locations close
in to Melbourne to run such events.

Thanks to Bayside Kangaroos members for helping out and to Debbie Dodd and
Pam King for helping with the finish/results.

For your information, the map was based on an old YV foot O map made by
Carolyn Jackson (then Hooper) back in 1980.
