For 30 years the Welsh Trail Riders Association's Snowrun has signalled the start of the Enduro season. A classis time card event, it has rarely failed to deliver & is always over subscribed. This year the weather was cold with a grey mist hanging over the Crychan forest & the start was in the top quarry. The Championship class had 4 laps & 8 riders were entered but Luke Lusher & Rowland Morris were non-starters. The Experts also had to pit plenty of fuel as they also had 4 laps. 2009 Clubman class winner Charlie Evans had moved up to Experts after a good season & support from Gas Gas Uk. In line with the BEC, the veterans were split into Experts & Clubmen but unlike the BEC they rode the same schedule. Concerned about the cold conditions, the organisers showed a lot of consideration by putting in a couple of greasy loops right after the start to warm everyone up. The greasiest one was cut for lap 2. Ross Jones opted to ride a Kawasaki - some ex-Kawasaki owner's ears will be burning tonight. Crossing the Tirabad road the riders dropped down Stick Hill to 5 Roads & climbed Scrach to the first of two tests. Full report & results

Neil Chatham wins Metzeler Melville Scottish Championship Hare and Hound Report by Campbell Chatham
There was a battle royal at Lochhouses Farm on Sunday, one of the best ever. A cold cloudy wet day greeted all on Sunday morning although it did not actually rain. There was less of an atmosphere than in December although that was to change very quickly once the race started despite the relatively low entry of 125 dedicated competitors. D3 Racing's Murray Thomson took the holeshot with Fraser Norrie, Derek Little, Darren Carter and Drysdale Motorcycles Neil Chatham all in hot pursuit. Fraser charged through to the front and was never headed for the remainder of the first lap. Neil was within sight in second and for the next hour they swopped the lead more times than either of them could remember. There was never more than 13 seconds between them as they carved there way through the backmarkers.

GAS GAS has now produced the 2010 EC ‘Racing’ and it is now available (pre-order only). The EC ‘Racing’ model now joins the ‘standard’ model and the ‘Six Day’ model. The changes to the EC Racing model are; The factory also intend to produce the ‘Nambotin Replica’ later in the year so there will be 4 models to choose from (standard, six-day, racing and nambotin) and in both ‘CC’ or ‘EC’ trim.. I have no idea of price, spec or date for the ‘nambotin’ but I expect it to be very highly ‘specc-ed’ (and priced!) with Ohlins front and back. Checkout this link to see the actual bike that Nambo is using right now. Details

There was an extreme section for the first time at a Melville
but it did not seem to slow the two young terriers as they made it look
easy. Fraser stopped for fuel allowing Neil to build a up gap but with a
lightening fast pit stop he was soon on his tail again. Neil managed a
quick stop and re entered the track right behind Fraser although he needed
another stop with Neil having enough petrol in his big tank to make it to
the finish. Unbeknown to everyone Neil's brakes had worn out with the
earlier battle and he was struggling to stay ahead. It looked like Neil
was going to be caught but Frasers energy was spent with the frantic pace
of the early laps allowing Neil to maintain his lead after the Dennis
Irvine Superbike ace refuelled. Neil could not believe it as he had
consider stopping once his brakes had gone but he persevered and took his
most satisfying win so far. Fraser Norrie looked exhausted but the two
shook hands at the finish, they both knew they had put on a great show and
they had both ridden brilliantly. Murray Thomson finished third having
looked like a circling shark waiting on his pray to fall and pick up the
pieces, Derek little was not far behind with a gaggle of experts making
the finish. The old guard have to give best to the young guns coming
through the ranks in Scotland on this occasion. The full results will be
available later this week with these results very provisional at this
point.
