Weaver Valley had two teams in this annual competition, this year based in the Peak District with over 100 teams and solo riders from all over the UK. Richard Clader, new to this event - which is mountainbike orienteering on tracks and bridleways, teamed up with me to acheive a respectable score as the first male supper vet team. But Kevan and Eleanor, who were just 5 points ahead of us at the end of the first 7 hour day, pulled it out of the bag with their superior route planning the second day. Not only beating Richard and I by 15 points, but winning the mixed team category for ALL age groups. A fantastic result, well done Kev and El!
I haven't had any results or pictures or links sent through yet, so if anyone finds them, please put it here in the comments.

I like the idea of you two winning the supper vets. Very appropriate considering our wedding feast on Saturday night!
Results here Nick - http://www.sportident.co.uk/results/2011/PolarisSummer/
But the Polaris website is useless, I can't find a report or any photos, presumably they'll go up before too long.
What a great event - I keep re-living it. I must admit beating you and Richard was very satisfying - given the way you stormed past us on that first hill on Sunday, tortoises and hares spring to mind!!
Well done kev and El
