Ten More in Moray, the event itself.

Arriving late on Friday night having had to drive by Blairgowrie and Glenshee due to an accident closing the A9 we had to erect our flimsy little tent in semi darkness. Having little knowledge of tent erecting, especially these modern things with collapsible poles we ran into problems right away, in fact there was a thing like a big top for the circus put up quicker next to us by, obviously, a couple of experts! However they very kindly gave us the benefit of their expertise and eventually we got the damn thing up.

The event itself was the best we've ever been at, the weather was brilliant, not too hot, not too windy and no rain!!

We eventually finished second in our class and as yet not too sure where we came overall, but that will be up on the Internet in a few days.

The course itself was roughly ten miles long and was a really good mixture of climbs and descents, the final descent being a classic. Terrific day!
