Rd 1club championship 14/01/12

Report: Ian Exley

51 riders turned up at Harden Moor despite the sub zero temperature to ride a 3 lap 10 section course plotted by Paul Duffill,Dave Hodds and Steve Tattersfield.

John Hillam showed his young apprentice Ben Horner how it should be done on the hard course taking an easy win dropping just 15 marks to Ben’s 38.

Nathan Allen just pipped club stalwart Stewart Oughton to the top spot by two marks on the middle route.

Mark Constantine was a clear winner on the easy course by ten clear marks from runner up Giles Walker.

Section 1 was a steady opener starting with a ride over a couple of slabs & steps followed by a series of tight turns between and over rocks with the exit up a banking

The tight turn on the easy course took at least a dab from the entry except for winner

Mark Constantine who cleaned it twice.

Michael Major was stationed at section 7 where all three courses had to climb a very slippery rock covered cambered bank to the ends cards.A steady throttle hand was needed and Michael Benn riding the mid course proved this by keeping feet up on all three visits,John Hillam managed the only clean on the hard course.

Section 9 started with a climb up a rock covered bank,the hard course then had a series of large rock steps to negotiate,the mid & easy routes bypassed these but had an

Awkward gap between two rocks to negotiate before a tricky slab and step.

Again Messrs Hillam and Benn were best here with a hatrick of cleans

Two riders of the days awards,firstly A class rider Thomas Housecroft eclipsed

All the adult riders on the middle course,his loss of 11 marks would have taken top spot.C class national rider Joe Faunthorpe again showed what a young talent he is by

Dropping just 25 on the same route which would have been good enough to take 4^th place amongst the adult ranks.

A special mention goes to young D class rider Edward Earle who battled round the easy course for a very respectable 95 marks.
