Rockfield Enduro - 17th September 2006

Report by James Wilden.

(Stop Press: Results are now available here. And we spotted more of our club members were there, Lee Hook on 7 laps and Ben Bates on 8. ed.)

The weather was once again perfect for racing with some rain the week before to help keep the dust down. The AMCA Cotswold Enduro Club made their annual pilgrimage to Cottage Farm for the first of 2 events being held, there were a number of West Glos riders entered. Unfortunately the Quads were racing in the morning so the Solo riders had to entertain themselves by whatever means possible until their allotted start time of 1pm. Good thing being that there were lines to follow around the course making good going.

Rob Breakwell guested in the expert plus and was last off the line struggling to get his YZ going. But despite this managed an excellent 2nd in class doing 10 laps. Simon Ellway came in 10th in expert plus on 9Laps.

The biggest group of members were in the Enduro Clubman class, Steve Biddle keeping his good form of late finishing 5th. He was followed by Martin Kear, Martin George, Dave Smailes, and Darren Woodley, finishing in succession from 11th through to 14th. All were closely matched completing 9 laps each.

In the sportsman Class was James Wilden finishing in a dubious position of 5th also completing 9 laps.

A fine event from the Cotswold club. For more details see cotswoldenduro.co.uk. For Photos of event, www.endurophotos.co.uk
