UPDATED Results - Rich and Graham can't possibly have the same riding number - Why didn't I see that (Answers on a postcard to....)
Perfect weather. Can't beat it.
You can probably spot the ones who had a go at the Hard route here and there. iWixon certainly did lap 3 on hard. I had a go at a few on lap 4 and Vess appeared to like sec 5 so did it every lap.
Amory certainly had the bottle to have a go at the main route. He came away with a load more experience and some great cleans too.
Georgina was on a new bike to her and suffering a rapid action throttle but managed a 2 on the tight turn of 4.
Take out Ian Wixon's hard lap and average his previous and you get a deserving winner of the Easy on 4. (Ok Graham Actually won it on the little Scorpa) Dai, as ever, is in a class of his own, even if you don't factor any allowance for age!
New member Dean Edwards was in at the deep end having only owned a trials bike for 2 weeks. His 'friends' persuaded him to enter the hard route. Usually that is a recipe for disaster but clearly his friends did take into account he has a wealth of experience from Hare & Hounds events. Good run young 'un. Your Dad's skills have obviously rubbed off!
Apologies to Sam and the CHG if we wore out any riders who will be doing both days riding, and lets hope they have as good weather as we had for their championship round on Sunday.
