South East Centre Championship
Sunday, December 27th, 2009Venue: Longmoor, Bordon
Results: 1st Championship class ( SE Champion )
Report: The final round of the south east centre hare and hounds championship was to be run at the Witley annual boxing day event, I havent ridden this event for many years, but as it made up the final round of this championship which I was leading I decided to ride it for a change, obviously the days leading upto the event were not my usual pre race preperations, in fact much the opposite, getting in the xmas spirit and drinking and eating far too much but never mind. Dispite the weather which had been terrible I was looking forward to this race and was very keen to teach the moto x riders a lesson in enduro, there were some fairly big names that had turned up from the mx world and I knew I would need to get a move on early in the race. The race started by a short dash to the bike, I managed to stay on my feet only just but got a bad start, somewhere near the back, within 5 mins I had made my way upto 2nd but couldnt see 1st place so put a real push on for lap two and managed to get in front, I pushed on for an hour and got a big lead, from there it easy to control the race with my pit crew pushing me to keep building the lead. The track got fairly cut up and you needed to ride smart towards the end to avoid any dramas, but I thought considering the weather of late the course was good, alot of bikes though (350 I think), It is a shame there were some people cutting the course AGAIN, but they are only cheating themselves and we all know who they are. A Great event and my last one this year, its been a mega year and to finish it off with another championship title is awesome. A massive thank you to Andy at Poole motorcycles, Pitman Rich, Chris at Metzler tyres, Daisy and everyone that has hepled me out this year, we have had some great results and I am already training and getting the bikes ready for next year. Andy has almost finished building the engine for the british bike which is something a bit special, cant wait to ride it. See you in 2010
