With an extended track and brilliant
sunshine SBEC put on another excellent and testing Championship event with
over 100 riders.
The course was longer than last year with
experts taking around 25 minutes to lap. A new MX style section to start
lead into a small wood then a bigger wood before joining up with the old
track.
The bikes looked clean at the start but a
long gully near the end turned muddy and made sure the riders had a cleaning
job at the end.
Thanks to Andy Thomson and his crew and
the Landowner at Falahill farm for an excellent venue.
Andrew Bisset won the Expert but was kept
on his toes by Sam Boyd following close behind all day. Ricky Mair produced
a great ride for 3rd with Joe Dawson in 4th.
Robbie Davidson lead the Clubman home
with Alex Pringle in 2nd and David Wilkes in 3rd.
In Clubman B Chris Gallagher styled his
way to 1st with Alister Barr 2nd and Alan Milligan 3rd. All on 7 laps with
the rest on 6
Euan McConnell took a deserved Over 40
win - the only rider on 8 laps . James Harvey 2nd with Darren Cousins 3rd -
both on 7 laps. Gavin Douglas - Vinduro organiser made the long trip North
worthwhile with a fine 5th
Over 50 rider Neil Dawson pushed hard for
a deserved win one lap ahead of Andrew Flockhart who just failed to beat the
3 hour flag. Pete Nixon put up a strong ride all day for 3rd
Kyle Currie lead the Sportsman class home
ahead of Derri Ford and Trials convert Michael Mcniven .
The Sportsman Vets is always competitive
and Steven Clark took a deserved win ahead of Robert Gardiner with Alan
Strachan in 3rd - all on 6 laps - one lap ahead of the pack.
Great to see an event well supported and
the club put on a bit of a show with an awards presentation at the end.
