February 18, 200620 yr The Stratford-Upon-Avon Club are running the Colmore Cup as a one-off National for 2006, on the 5th March. Starting at a new venue; Downs Farm near Bourton-on-the-Hill, (signposted from A44) the 40 section 25mile road trial will visit many of the favourite traditional Groups high on the Cotswold hills, plus five brand new sections in the steep wood at Top Farm overlooking the Vale of Evesham. In it's 75+ year history Colmore Winners include, Sammy Miller, Steve Saunders, Steve Colley, Dougie Lampkin, Sam Conner and Graham Jarvis. As a non championship round, the sections will be less severe than last year when winner Graham Jarvis dropped 15 marks, mainly in the infamous Dovedale Group. Clerk of the Course Alan Wright and his setting out team will be aiming the severity at good Centre level riders, so expect the scores to be tight at the top end of the results board.

February 20, 200620 yr Oh dear, this sounds quite hard. Maybe I shouldn't have entered. Graham Jarvis dropped 15! Even though its eased, I may only get through 1 or 2 sections all day. Roll on 5th March.
February 20, 200620 yr Author I'm sure you'll have a good time Doogle, I've chopped out the sections at the new Group called Top Farm today. Although it's a little hard for me, (see picture)they are all cleanable. The route to and from Top Farm takes in some good trail riding which makes a change from riding around all on the road.
February 22, 200620 yr It should be a good day then. At least I can enjoy the trail riding. Cheers Dave
February 23, 200620 yr Author Unfortunately, the regs available have not appeared in T&MX news, so the entry is down a little this year. There are 70 riders entered at this point with spaces for 30 more but the closing date is fast approaching for anyone who fancies a good ride around the Cotswold hills. Hot favourites already entered apparently, are Sam Connor and Dan Thorpe. I'll post a entry list after the closing date. For more details or regs contact Richard Gill tel 0121 2465823
