First of all congratulations to C of C Howard & his crew for arranging such good weather albeit a bit chilly. After seeing all the riders through the bottom gate on to the superbike infested Ingleton to Hawes road I toddled round to Snaizeholme to look at Renee and Margarets sections. Only a hand full of cleans from the Clubmen, a few more from the 50/50 lads and a few from the main course on the first. Margarets section had a slippy exit for the Clubmen but the others had a blast up a long rocky gully where the aces made it look a bit like a main road, the top six all clean. Dan Thorpe was heard to ask Margaret if she'd been there all year sitting in the same place. Back to the main road for the trip to Troutbeck passing through Hawes where the Law were pulling most of the road bikes in for checks. The second Troutbeck was new and just down the next farm road. It involved quite a high step which the Clubmen were not too sure about and only I Robinson managed a clean. the main course only produced two cleans Ian Austermuhle and Ben Hemingway. Not very many retirements and just a few outside the 7 hour time limit.
Well done lads.
Malcolm.
