Last year 2 up pick & mix event was so much fun that we had to do it again. 

The rules stay the same: the riders are divided in 2 groups ('the improving' and 'the improved') based on this year best time on course.  Then the teams are formed picking and mixing a rider from each pot. The idea is to have a go at the course in an unusual way, giving everybody a chance to try the different skills and tactics required for a 2 up.

As far as the competition itself is concerned, Jim pulled Valerio to his best official time and first victory on course, narrowly beating Richard on fixed wheel and Andrew. In third position Ron took more than a minute and a half off his best solo time. If only Matt was around more often ...

Bev and Pete close the short classification.

Everybody was looking happy at the end, so it looks like the tradition is now established. Thank you to Steve for organizing the event.
