PUTOLINE XC CHAMPIONSHIP (fast eddy)
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Venue: Jurby, Isle of man
Result 4th pro, (2nd in the championship)
What a top place for the final round of a championship, The weather again was not with us and pitman rich and daisy were suffering on the ferry over, with force 9-10 winds and 30 foot waves there were not many who were not ill (not me though). We arrived for friday practice and soon got used to the sand and after an hour and a few practice starts went back to the hotel. The rain and high winds were back on saturday morning and after putting my bike on the line it got blown over snapping the clutch lever, so off richie went to replace that. The flag went down at 1030 and I got a mega start and started to pull a lead at the front, but the moto cross boys were soon on me and passed me on the beach about half a lap in, I finished forth in the pro race which gave me 2nd in the pro championship for the year which I was pleased with. Into the grand island hotel to pick up the trophy and to see the hilarious dancer that kath edmonson had arranged (excellent), Massive thanks to Richie and Daisy for coming over to help me out, sorry about the ferry ride, I hear there is an airport nearby for next year, and to Tim at foto-x for the write up on enduronews and the photos.
