This Saturday we organised the first BRM event in Vietnam. A 200km ride up through the orange plantations north of Saigon.
Overall a great success, with more time people will learn the skills and understand the self sufficiency a bit better. We had one club who didn't register but took part and had a motorcycle alongside them the whole way with spare wheels!
People are still getting used to the rules and maybe in more AUK fashion (advisory route) rather that ACP (mandatory route), managed to find shortcuts where possible. We'll need to make sure in the future we have secret controls. Navigation was a challenge for most people despite them having Garmin 1030 in some cases , knowing how to use it is a different matter.
Some complaints about how hot it was, but as organiser I can only control so much!
