What a weekend, with over 15mm of rain Friday the event it was looking like it was going to be an awesome weekends riding.
The juniors went out and battled all day and with only 15 sec’s separating 1st and 2nd outright over the days racing it just goes to show there is some great racing in juniors, even the special J0 class of 65cc bikes had a great time.
Sunday saw the Seniors hit the Parc Ferme’ and another 20mm of rain and mist falling as theseniors took off meant there were going to be some wet Seniors returning home on Sunday.
10 Mins in saw them hit a nice clay hill that saw a few riders finish the day there, for those whogot up and going 5 mins later they hit the first test which 2 year s ago was an awesome Grass test in amongst the trees, but after 20mm of rain the track turned into a slick muddy track that saw even the good riders struggling to find grip, after another 40ks of trail we pre rode test 2 & 3some gnarly downhill and off camber bits saw a few riders heading to the bottom quicker than they expected, it was then another 40’ks back to the parc Ferme’ and do it another 2 times, after230k’s and some 9 tests you could throw a blanket over the top 5, with only 30 Riders Clearing Trail time the minor class’s came down to who lost the least amount of trail time.
With 120 Starters and only 70 finishing it was clear to see that the Enduro’s of old were back.
Although the rain plaid havoc for the club and with some riders the trail and tests were bothdemanding and a pleasure at the same time.
Well done to the Dandy Club for persisting with what was a very testing event. {And one thatsome would love to forget}
