This event was ran by a new club that had set itself up to organise H&H races for quads, sidecars and solo's. Ths first thing i knew about it was when Steve Jose phoned me up and said 'get your bike in the van, the race starts in 2 and half hours, see you there'! Now i know what your'e gonna say when i tell you that the phone call woke me up and it was 11 o'clock in the morning, no i'm not a lazy b*stard coz i didn't go to bed until 3am because i was out the night before gigging and living the rock 'n' roll lifestyle! (seem to be doing a lot of that lately) So to be honest it was all a bit late for me to get organised, so i'd thought i'll go and watch.
I turned up with about an hour of the race to go, not many competitors going round the track i must admit, probably about 20 or so? But a few local ones having a blast round on a Saturday afternoon that i knew anyway, so at least i could have a good laugh.
Highlight of the afternoon was me and Ali Gilbert (who pulled out after breaking his forks on his 'ginger' machine) watching Trevor Vercoe lap Steve Jose, and Matt Tilley doing his best to emmulate 'Dancing on ice' whilst getting it all wrong and ending up on his arse through a wooded rooty section!
The course was a mixture of woods and fields but nothing too technical, and i think the club did alright in putting on their first event. Hopefully next time might get a few more riders involved and i might get a bit more notice so i can ride it!
I started racing Enduro's in August 2006. Here is my blog with everything thats happened. The good, the bad, and the ups and downs. Latest blog posts are at the top.
