Storm Clodagh held off the worst of her fury till just after round 11 of the clubs 2015 Championship and from the feedback received most of the riders enjoyed their days sport. The Championship standings are now very interesting in some of the classes the battle for first place is only separated by one point which after 11 rounds is fantastic and will make the final round at Burycliffe quarry on 20th December crucial for some riders aspirations. Expert British Bike saw Martin Stanistreet have a scintillating ride on his James to lose just 2 marks on section 6. Those two single dabs on the difficult rock strewn climb were the only times his feet left the pegs. Superb.…
