Here are details for the Cloverleaf Run on 14th August.
A new event on the Northumbrian Section calendar, riders will enjoy a mixture of Co. Durham roads and scenery, with an excursion into Northumbria as part of the fun. The start and finish will be at the Brown Horse, High Stoop. The hotel is on the A68 about 2 miles north of Tow Law, DL13 4HJ. Start at 10.00. Food and drink will be available at the start. The event is roughly 75 miles with a lunch stop at The Baa, Edmundbyers. The Brown Horse have requested that no trailers are left there during the day as the car park is needed for Sunday lunch customers. However, there is a lay-by opposite which could be used. There will be no entry fee, and the organiser would be happy for non-members on newer machines, perhaps friends of members who would like to sample an event, to take part. Put it in your calendars and see you there!
A great day out on the Cloverleaf Run yesterday, weather and scenery stunning. Special thanks to the marshalls, Hilary Craig and Spike without whose help it wouldn't have happened and all the entrants for their good humour and willingness to partake of something different with special tests.
The results have been computed and are:
Overall Winner: Peter Ashcroft 35pts
Joint Second: Peter Waltham & Bobby Robinson KOBI 34pts
Special Awards:
King of Cool: Peter Bagnall for his outstanding knowledge of modern biker terminology (compared to the fossilised vintagents he was competing against)
Narrow-minded Award: John Robinson KOBI for his sensational effort in riding at speed through a gap barely wider than his machine
Perfect Parking Prize: Peter Waltham for his precise machine control and almost mystical awareness of his machines location.
All prizes and awards are virtual with no cash value, but can nevertheless be bragged about.
Thanks everyone, let ne know if you think the format worth repeating.
