June 24, 201016 yr June 20th Fathers Day and some dads had a real present with Dudwood farm being dry for a change giving the course setters a challenge to set a course that was worthy of the entry but not too challenging to make Fathers day a day to remember for the wrong reasons. Overall most of the field of 43 riders had a good day so hopefully we got it right. Somebody who had an excellent ride was the Landowner himself Barry Burton riding his James in his own back yard to take the win in the Expert British Bike class with a loss of just 14 marks. Seven of those lost on arguably the most difficult section of the day section 6. A simple enough section around some rocks but with a tight off camber turn in the middle which, surprisingly for the course plotter Paul Beswick, became very slippery taking marks from the whole entry. The whole entry that is apart from Chris Garlick who though he remained clean on the days hardest section still only managed to finish second in the Expert Twinshock Class which was won by his brother Stephen losing just 6 marks. The Club is considering a few changes for next year and decided to try one of those changes out namely an additional two sections just for Expert Twinshock and Air cooled monoshocks only. The entries in the British Bike classes have been disappointing of late and the club is actively trying to reverse this trend and will be trying our best to encourage more riders to come and take part. Speaking of Pre65 entries Barry Micklethwaite had a good ride to win the 50/50 British Bike route for a loss of only 26 well done Barry. Finally the Clubman British Bike class was won by Graham Lyons by the narrowest of margins on 28 marks from Vincent Price on 29 marks. The reason the result was closer than graham may have thought was that somehow he totally missed section 1 every lap which cost him 25 marks. OOOPS Graham. As always the club would like to thank the landowner Barry Burton for allowing us to ride in his back garden and also the observers for being there so we could all have such a great day out in the beautiful Peak District.
