Metro Series visits Dalkeith and Nedlands

Monday, 8 February 2010

The Be Active Metro Series event on Saturday starts from Beaton Park in Dalkeith. The courses will include some of the ritziest streets in Dalkeith and Nedlands, including Jutland Parade.

Usual registration time (4.30pm), and start time (5.00pm), with the first-timers briefing at 4.50pm. Beginners are very welcome! To get there, follow Broadway, past Steve’s almost to the River, then turn right into The Esplanade and follow it to the end.

At last Saturday’s event in Stirling, Steve Fletcher won the (very) Long course (11kms) by the narrowest of margins (1 second) from Ben Corry, after both took entirely different routes (check Routegadget here). The overall Series situation is now desperately close, with only 5 points between Steve, Ben, Craig Dufty and Ricky Thackray.

Lee Holliday had an easy win over Ben Dalton on the Medium course, and has consolidated his overall Series lead. On the Short course, Nathan Binks broke through for his first win, with Enda McCauley second. These two now have an opportunity to take the Series win from current leader Oliver Martin.
