Frazer Norrie - part of the 2014 European Enduro Team
Champions 2014.
The team of Brad
Freeman, Lee Sealy , Rob Johnson and Frazer Norrie recently
won the 2014 European Enduro Junior Team Championship at the
last round in the Czech Republic.
Frazer Norrie has been competing in
the 2014 European Championship this year which saw him
visiting many countries. The championship was contested on a
variety of terrains which proved to be very challenging,
from the Dust and rocks of Spain to the wet lush countryside
of Romania.
Frazer rode well at all events but
found some more challenging than anything he had experienced
before. After the four venue eight round championship Frazer
finished 6th overall
in the under 23 E2/E3 class.
At
the start of the championship four of the junior riders were
selected to compete for the junior team trophy with all
there points being counted together. At the last round on
Czech Republic the four man team of Brad Freeman, Lee Sealy,
Rob Johnson and Frazer Norrie were crowned 2014 European
Enduro Junior team champions.
It was a double success because as
well as the juniors winning; the senior team of Tom Sagar,
Steve Holcome, Jamie Lewis and Jack Rowland also won the
2014 European Enduro Senior team Championship.
Frazer is planning to contest the
2015 European Championship again with the intent of
bettering his 2014 result using last years’ experience to
his advantage.
Frazer has recently competed in
both the Weston beach race and the Skegness beach race.
Weston again proved to be tricky
with Frazer’s bike taking a mouthful of water in a flooded
section and stopping. Frazer pushed his bike around the
remainder of the lap back to the pits where he got it going
again and continued on to finish 9th
overall.
Skegness Beach race proved to be a
very tough event, with the deep sand and the technical
course Frazer found the going hard, after a very hard three
hours Frazer finished second overall to Dan Thornhill and
James Lassu in third.

4 Scottish Riders headed south to Great Ayton for round 1 of the
NEXC championship
3 from SBEC & 1 from ELRAT
The Misty weather soon moved away to reveal some pretty steep hills
in an area that has been used for many years as a scramble track
,
Youths raced in the Morning in a 2 hr race then at 11.30am the
adult race started with Sportsman & O50s at 12pm
Top rider Graeme Jarvis was on the start line using it as a
practice day after being injured
The race was over open ground & through open woodland with some
Very steep hill climbs & drop offs which were testing on the
slippery ground , the lap was only about 3 miles in length so
once the Sportsman class started it was a busy track but made it
more enjoyable picking your way through the carnage on the hills
Peter Nixon rode in the Over 40s finishing in 10th place on 17
laps probably the hardest class of the day
Sean Henderson was in Clubman E1 & was last off the line & nearly
had a big crash before the first corner but picked his way
through the field & Won E1 with 20 laps , 2 laps clear of 2nd
place & putting in some fast lap times
Lindsay Rae was in Clubman E2 & after some repairs to the carburetor
getting pulled out of its housing after getting tangled with
another rider . finished 4th on 17 laps
Willie Beaty was in the O50s class , Willie brayed on for 2 1/2 hrs
with a sore hand to finish 4th on 14 laps
Great day out & a good bit of training on some big hills
Just a bit steep there |
Sean H - still No1 |

North England Enduro Championship Rd1
4 riders from the Scottish Borders Enduro Club made the trip south
to Helmsley for round 1 of the North England Enduro Championship
The sun was out & the start line was full 170 riders , some top
british riders were also up for the day getting a ride around as
the next BEC round is at Helmsley in May
The course had 2 tests the 1st test was about 5 minutes long a
flowing test with lots of turns through the trees , the 2nd was
just over 2 minutes this test had plenty of logs & tree roots to
contend with
The rest of the going was mostly in the trees with some pretty hard
going over tree roots , brash , river beds & a few hill climbs
but enjoyable to ride
Mark Ritchie & Peter Nixon were in the O40s class , Mark had a
Mechanical failure on his 2nd lap & had to push his bike back to
the pits with his dodgy hip . Peter rode pretty well only
dropping 4 minutes on his last lap (tight check) & finished
20th
Ben Thomson was in Clubman E1 & after 3
weekend on the trot racing at Elgin & BEC , Ben finished 2nd in
E1 16 seconds off the winner , he was 6th overall in Clubman out
of 65 riders ,
Lindsay Rae was in Clubman E2 probably the hardest class to race in
& finished 13th , getting slightly lost on lap 1 & wrestling
with a tree on lap 2 ( tree won ) , enjoyed his day out though
We never got a chance to sample the Burger Van but the Milkshake on
the way home helped ease the pain
