2 Day Enduro Results
Andy Cannell - Clubman winner
Day 1
The day started with 20 second penalty for David Knight, Juan Knight and Daniel McCanney for not attending scrutineering on Friday night.
First bikes left St Johns at 9.30am on Saturday heading off to Tholt e Will via Lhergy Colvine, Spooyt Vane, Ballacob green lanes. Followed by a thankfully dry climb through Ballaugh plantation. Before checking in and completing a fast test around Tholt e Will well set out by Andy Walton. The 65 mile lap then headed south after refuelling in St Johns and on to the tight check between South Barrule, Corlea and Cringle where a river crossing, deep hole, bog, another river crossing caused blockages and anyone staying on time would be very pleased with their performance.
Al Heginbotham created the second special test of the lap at the Ballacricket motocross track on land owned by longtime club supporter Johnny Massen in Ronague. With large jumps and berms this type of terrain was a welcome releif for most after the gruelling battle in Cringle created by club sadists Gary Cawtherly and Nige Beaumont. Ballacricket did claim one victim when club regular Matt Garside came to grief with an injured shoulder and put himself out of the event. The lap finished with a run home via Glen Rushen plantation, pipeline and Arresey.
Lap2 was a repeat of the above but with worsening weather conditions and thick mist fog on high ground. The South Barrule / Cringle tight check taking lumps of time off people, with competitors stuck in bogs and rivers, finishing off with a tiring battle through Glen Rushen with 3 stoppers in quick succession and help needed from fellow competitors as the ruts deepended to foot rest hieght.
Day 2 was similar but in reverse with Arassey and Eairystane plantations providing a warm up before the Ballacricket MX track which had started to show signs of use with ruts developing in the tight corners. The tight check in Cringle, Corlea and South Barrule was a lot slacker and run in the opposite direction with a large amount cut out to ease the weary bikes and bodies.
One lap of the full course was all Tholty via St Lukes and 1 lap each class followed by a check and return to St Johns via some going in Ballaugh and up Spooyt Vane which caused a few problems for some of the more tired riders but marshalls were on hand to help.
Sportsman class finished their day off at this point with 1 lap of the course and Clubman and Expert classes went off for a 2nd run through the southern loop and Ballacricket.

EndurOgasm Results
| The second annual SMCC EndurOgasm social event was held in baking sunshine on dry and dusty land at Carnegrie which made the post race chilled beer taste even better.
The event and the entire clubs future was placed in jeopardy on friday night when an over optimistic pairing of Nige Beaumont and most valuable asset club secretary Brenda Crellin took a hefty tumble off the down hill side of the clubs farm quad and were very nearly squashed - next time Brenda is going to drive! |
 |
The course used only half the clubs land but still meant a 5min lap for the fastest riders and included a tyre section with alternate ‘chicken run’, start / finish ramp and a recently created, by chainsaw expert Jason McNee, log section complete with see-saws a spectator favourite!
The format was a little different than last year with electronic timing again being used each of the classes could be awarded separately so no handicap system was employed. Winner received alcoholic refreshments and
Sportsman rider Jason Bulliment had a nasty and tumble part way through but got going again after some attention from the Manx First Aid team and probably has a few good bruises today!
The entire SMCC committee would like to thank everyone who attended, helped out with course and section marking for the enduro, trial and sidecar trial events as well as those who helped make the evening entertainment and food a success.
