What goes up must come down and with 750'+ of climbing each 7 mile lap we certainly deserved the awesome descending especially the last mile into the start/finish line. The club Sunday morning riders decided this would be their jump from nice sedate Wiggle Super Series to the take no prisoners Gorrick Enduro's. They all performed admirably finishing with broad smiles on their faces knowing they had just finished a particularly tough opening round and looking forward to the next.
Conditions were amazing, considering the amount of water dumped on the
area in the preceding days, with only two sections that hampered
the fast flowing trails. In the senior men's 4hr race Ben Connor came in 20th including a puncture break and Peter Wilsdon (above) 67th even with a snapped chain.
Moving up the cats we had a great turn out in the men's 4hr Vet's race with 5 riders. The consistent Ian Petherbridge came in an impressive 5th in a strong field which gets bigger every year, John Davies 22nd, Kevin Moore 44th, John Reay 49th and Andy Jarman (above) who had stopped to help Peter fix his chain 58th.
In the men's 2hr Vet's race Damian Redmond had an impressive 21st in a very hard category.
And last but not least the 2hr Junior male where Will Taylor(above) finished 2nd riding a singlespeed and Ollie Fenton 5th.
Great results, well done to all.
