Event: BMBO Event 2 - Redbrook
 

43.933km with 930m climb in 2:56:00. 3 hour mtbo score odds and evens Redbrook. No way clearable.

Reds first loop east of river which I should of done the opposite way around for tarmac climbs and off road decents unlike my way 2 or 3 mins slower?.

Fairly obvious loop picking them all up west of river. 2 hours up close to blue 8 but kept going for last. Red 11 did not realise it was where bw met road and thought on bw so followed it with 2 bad turns could of just stuck to road lost 3 mins. Skiped 18 coming back receded to skip 4 at end which was the wrong call 4 mins early should of taken it and a few mins late for probably 10 more points.

Ended 2nd 9 points down. Need to be more aggressive with strategy.

GPS struggled a couple of times.

Amazing service from the AA tonight.

Finished meal at the Nelson, Churchill after the Night Orienteering. Go to leave car-park and about to pull out onto the main road and realize I can not change gear.

About a minute of faffing, realizing I am stuck in 1st and I manage to loop back onto the triangle in the road outside the pub. Park safely so I can still pull off forwards if needed.

A minute to find the paperwork for the AA with the insurance stuff in the glove box.

A minute to go into the pub and get there postcode.

Ring the number, A minute listening to the safety talk.

A minute giving my details and location.

A minute after hanging up the patrol man rings up to confirm my location says he will be a minute.

Well actually it took about 2 minutes and he pulls up and asks me to open the bonnet.

A minute latter having found his light he shows me where the linkage has popped off.

2 more minutes and it's back on and cable tied into place and I have checked it's working. I am on my way with 2 spare cable ties in case it goes again on the way home.

Amazingly I am back on my way home in under 10 minutes after breaking down.
