A great
new forest at Fettercairn - always a challenge for clubs. Bon
Accord put on another testing event on a steeply cambered forest
. The ground held up well with Expert riders completing 7 laps.
The test was a tight run through the trees up and down the side
of a hill.
It was
good to see the return to a Scottish forest of "Iron Man"
Richard Hay pushing the younger riders hard all day. On the
going Andrew Bisset managed to snap a chain but only dropped one
minute on time - Enduros are about keeping going despite all
problems.
Thanks
to Stuart Cooper for all his work over the recent weeks to set
out the course and for Bon Accord giving us the chance to
compete in another new forest.
The
event was won by Fergus Lamb closely followed by Andrew Bisset
and Ben Thomson in 3rd. In the over 40's the battle resumed
between Steven Currie and Mark Ritchie with the pair pushing
hard all day - but Steven ending up the winner by the end of the
event
In The
new Over 50's class Andrew Maben took the win by 1 second from
Duncan McCormick who was looking forward to a tough forest
enduro. Neil McGregor finishing 3rd in the class
In the
Clubman Andrew Scaife was the winner by 5 seconds from Kenny
Thomson and Andrew Currie close behind in 3rd
Clubman
was won by Gareth Jamieson looking strong all day to finally get
a 1st place after 2nd, 3rd and 4th during the rest of the year.
Nial McCallum was 2nd with Dean Buchan in 3rd
Max
Hamilton was 1st in the Sportsman ahead of Danny Conroy and Liam
Clark after a tough day in the forest.
