Who's the boss of mountain bike orienteering? Our Newcastle club.Event 2 in the BOSS series for 2020-21 resulted in 93 competitors at Hawkemount, boosted by teams and family entries. Have a look at the keen family in this pic!
It was a tough course, with difficult route choices and the odd motor bike trail that made pedalling difficult - after a 1km uphill ride to the start.
That at least meant there were plenty of controls to visit along the main ridge road, which helped the first-timers. However, for once no one came close to clearing the course.
"Best trails ever!" said Brad Mertens, who won the men's AllScore with 40 points out of a possible 55.
BOSS 3 is on Sun Dec 13 at Neath.
And a reminder that entries for this weekend's ACT MTBO Champs close on Thursday.
