So the first open 5 of the season kicked of in the Forest of Boland, just south of the Yorkshire dales it was a 2 hour drive for Simon & me to meet up with Deb, Ben & Mandy.
at only 3C it was a chilly start but the sun was shinning.
Maps were given out at registration which showed the main Mountain biking over and into Gisburn forest, all of us opting for the MTB stage first then run 2nd.
You can start any time between 9.30 & 10.30 and then you have 5 hours to plan your route and get back with at least 1 checkpoint been hit on both the run stage & bike stage.
The Big bear shirts were flying over the course with a lot of comments from the race organisers & race photographers.
Results all came in good:
Mandy came a brilliant 2nd 445 points in Female solo
Simon & Deb 3rd 375 points in Mixed Pairs
Wayne & Ben 8th 457 points in Male Pairs
The nest open5 is on the 5th Dec and at our home ground of the North York Moors, start / registration etc will be at Sutton Bank.
