I completed 1 lap, doesn't sound a lot, it only took me 28 minutes riding time for 1 lap. It was the one and a half hours resting as I went around that screwed it up!

The thing that really suprised me was the changes in terrain. Wide open muddy fields and grassy hillclimbs. Steep rocky rooty oh sh1t downhills. 3 foot deep bomb craters full of water. Muddy rutts with whoops in them etc etc. You get the idea, nothing like greenlaning at all!

The CRM performed brilliantly, flew up all the hills, got very hot though. Not sure about Vee Rubber V211s, clog up very quickly.

A great day out and I've got 4 weeks to clean everything before the next one!

At least I completed a lap so I won't go down as a DNF. One thing I never seem to learn is that no matter how hard you hit trees they will not move out of the way!

Sounds like you had fun


Good on you for sticking at it

OK, so I probably will go down as a DNF but atleast I completed a lap!

knackering aint it!,did a wirral off road r.e day on saturday(straight from a 12hr nightshift with no sleep.did 3x5 mile laps in the practice session so i wasn't to fecked for the 1 hr race.managed 4 laps in the race and came 28th out of 80 odd riders so not too bad but i was caned driving back from wales

Well, that one lap took me 1 hour 54 minutes but someone else took 1 hour 57 minutes. So I wasn't the slowest!

The fastest were doing laps in less than 8 minutes, which is rather humbling....

Well April was a long time ago. The week after the event I felt really sh1t and it turned out to be Glandular Fever. So that explains why I got so suprisingly extra tired so quickly. Anyway, that is all gone now. So is the CRM, that enduro blew it up, I'm sure I overevved it but I did make it up some mega climbs!

It sold on ebay for £500 as a non runner. Currently restoring a 1987 CR250R, something more gentle...... ;-)
