Tulleys

The short version of this report: It rained!

The more informative version: KBCC returned to Tulleys Farm alongside the 750MC to run two events but using one set of poles, to encourage a larger entry and some cross-party camaraderie. Did it work? Well, there was a combined entry of 31, 20 of whom were National runners. Plenty of marshals from a local bike trials club were roped in in exchange for use of the ground for one of their events. Eight hills had been laid out trying to use some fresh areas and avoid the well-worn usuals, a lot of clearing had been done of fallen trees, and ditches and ponds cleaned out so several new options were available. 2022 had thus far been one of the hottest and driest on record, but November was about to be the wettest month of the year, which gave the sections a different dimension to this heavy clay and wooded site. This was to be a day where a big engine and a heavy right foot might pay off.
