Well it was definitely all about the Bog! And for anyone who didn't make it in
person it was certainly a spectacle! Marshalls were put to the test as much as
the riders by pulling pushing and lifting bikes out of the way as the
conditions changed by the minute with several early heavy downpours which made
the steep sides more treacherous for anyone trying to traverse the gully
either side of the track. The rest of the track was made up of established
woodland with perfect going punctuated by logs narrow turns and deadly
slippery tree roots. Open farmland allowed for some speed when not taped up to
create a chicane. The special test on laps 2 & 3 of the 7 laps required
involved some tricky ditches along the bottom field which created a few
problems and sadly the wooded section caused the early retirement of Joe
Phillips after a crash in the woods. Joe who was chasing Jake Ropers rear
mudguard for another 1 2 finish may have to wait for the next round at
Blaxhall on the 7th July to continue that battle. The Roper household must
have celebrated a great Father's Day as it was wins for father & son in
the Clubman section & Expert Vets section, Roper was clearly the winning
name as Jamie Roper won the championship class after a quiet few seasons
recovering from injuries.
