With an extended track and brilliant sunshine SBEC put on another excellent and testing Championship event with over 100 riders.
The course was longer than last year with experts taking around 25 minutes to lap. A new MX style section to start lead into a small wood then a bigger wood before joining up with the old track.
The bikes looked clean at the start but a long gully near the end turned muddy and made sure the riders had a cleaning job at the end.
Thanks to Andy Thomson and his crew and the Landowner at Falahill farm for an excellent venue.
Andrew Bisset won the Expert but was kept on his toes by Sam Boyd following close behind all day. Ricky Mair produced a great ride for 3rd with Joe Dawson in 4th.
Robbie Davidson lead the Clubman home with Alex Pringle in 2nd and David Wilkes in 3rd.
In Clubman B Chris Gallagher styled his way to 1st with Alister Barr 2nd and Alan Milligan 3rd. All on 7 laps with the rest on 6
Euan McConnell took a deserved Over 40 win - the only rider on 8 laps . James Harvey 2nd with Darren Cousins 3rd - both on 7 laps. Gavin Douglas - Vinduro organiser made the long trip North worthwhile with a fine 5th
Over 50 rider Neil Dawson pushed hard for a deserved win one lap ahead of Andrew Flockhart who just failed to beat the 3 hour flag. Pete Nixon put up a strong ride all day for 3rd
Kyle Currie lead the Sportsman class home ahead of Derri Ford and Trials convert Michael Mcniven .
The Sportsman Vets is always competitive and Steven Clark took a deserved win ahead of Robert Gardiner with Alan Strachan in 3rd - all on 6 laps - one lap ahead of the pack.
Great to see an event well supported and the club put on a bit of a show with an awards presentation at the end.
