An insight into my first stab at the annual 'GS Challenge'. I entered as a 'Novice' (non-competitive) entrant; as opposed to the 'Challenge' & 'Trophy' categories. The weather was VERY wet but still a great weekend. Although 'non-competitive' scores were recorded by the marshals & I did manage equal 4th overall out of the 22 novices (but only 7th in the off-road challenges). Happy with that though.
Many thanks to the Off-Road Skills (ORS) team & BMW for putting on a fantastic event.
00:00 Arrival & general facilities
01:48 Brecons Road Run
03:55 Walters Arena, off-road route & challenges
10:24 Black Mountain Road Run, incl. the Millitary Road
14:18 Final 'Ride-Off' for the serious entrants
