Event: Bayswater - MTBO (urban)
 

To Bayswater for metro mtbo - came up the rail line rather then the river path as we knew the Park Run would have just started.

Entered Medium, but once we got going decided to do the Long. Missed the control West of the Start as just about everyone else headed there. Then followed Juffy and missed the first one next to the rowing car park. Decided then to get the far ones along the swampland path rather than follow Juffy up the OOB path next to Garratt Rd bridge. We then proceeded (unknowingly) to break the rules by coming back along a road which involved eventually crossing Garratt Rd. Bit of a procession around the rest of the course where we could outgun the mtbs on the roads, but lost time at the controls where we had to drop the bikes and hobble across the grass or sand on our road shoes. Saw quite a few people going through the oob retirement village. Afterwards we realised we had missed 128.

Don't know if anyone actually completed a 'clean' run with no forbidden routes.
