CHEC Lane End 15th
April 2012 - where did it all start to go wrong this year?
I got to the transponders first and phuft the
bike died! “Oh f*** ing start you piece of crap” or
something equally as eloquent as I thumbed the start button several
times as the bike sulked beneath me. Lee was getting away just
as it fired and Darren slipped past me before I could slot into
place, so now it was a three way dice. Report

First
race of the year that i've managed to finish! Read about the H&H
run by the South Reading MCC at Ashdown Farm on March the 31st
2012 ........
At the top of the hill we turned left and hit the gas down the
slope. I was doing a fair old speed when all of a sudden a drop-off
came into view that had been disguised by the grass. For a moment
I thought ‘oh crap’ and then I was flying though the
air ....... read more here!

Check
out the second exc re-build! New frame coating and bodywork.......
So first of all I had to strip the
bike down to get the frame powder coated. This is a fairly easy
job to do as it’s just a case off undoing everything and
chucking it into a heap in the corner of the garage. But seeing
as I want to be able to find things again, I opted for the slightly
slower but much more organised option of putting different parts
into little plastic bags and parts bins. ...... read more here!

Enduro 26th Feb 2012: Ride Report
The Special Test was a typical conifer
wood special. The underlying covering is fairly soft so bikes
cut into it easily and in no time at all there a deep narrow ruts
forming. For any average joe rider this means lots of paddling
along sitting in the seat. Expert level riders might be able to
ride them but ...... read more here!

Hafren
Rally 2011
I now
had Phil set in my sights. I caught him just as we got to the
bottom of the single track section and where you drop onto the
first section of fire road. He knew I was there and moved over
to give me room but unfortunately I was too hard on the throttle
and the bike lost traction so I lost ground.

CHEC
The Final Race at Tring Oct 2011
I’m not sure who got to the transponder
clocking machines first but the pictures show Gareth and me clocking
at the same time but once again he led me in the bends but I’d
haul back time on the open going. I have no recollection of how
or when I got past but looking at the pictures now I see I exited
the woods first and led into the quarry! report

Tenere
Goes Dirt Biking - Wiltshire Big Bike Ride
I have to say that when I lead a group (of enduro bikes)
through this bit, we always have at least one ‘off’.
Guiding the Tenere through these ruts I started to get really
worried that I’d bin it and be stuck there for days, pinned
down by 250kg bike! There were a few close calls but a couple
of well placed dabs saved the day, even if I did wrench the right
knee a little. I didn’t feel it at the time but its aching
again now. Report
