Hare
and Hound Championship - Round 3 - SBEC Glendearg 25th May 2014
Thunder in the Glen
Scottish Borders Enduro Club hosted the 3rd
round of the Scottish H&H Championship at Glendearg farm in the
hills above Galashiels . About an hour before the start the
heavens opened with torrential rain & thunder & lightening so it
was going to be a wet track the 70 riders had to negotiate. The
rain eased & the race started at 11am with Experts leading the
way.
In the Expert class Allyn Scotland took an early lead & never
looked out of shape all day . Al was in front from start to
finish on his trusty KTM. A well deserved win, Andrew Bisset
rode perfect all day in his first year in Experts to take 2nd.
Ross Hamilton rode steady to get 3rd
Over 4Os class was a close race between the fastest old men in
Scotland, Grant Smith making a comeback to Enduro took off after
the first hour to secure the win , Mark one hip Ritchie took 2nd
place ahead of Mr Steady James Harvey in 3rd .
Clubman class was won by 16yr old local lad Ben Thomson who took
3rd overall from all the riders. Duncan Norrie rode
a great race to take 2nd place with Graham Mechan in
3rd place.
Clubman B was won by a good ride from Craig McCormick. 2nd
place was taken by Veteran racer Willie Beaty with Hamish Oag
taking a solid 3rd place.
Sportsman class is the biggest class with riders at novice level
or a couple of years riding under their belt . Conditions can
be quite testing for the riders but it makes them better in the
long run before they move up a class.
The winner of the Sportsman was Craig Mackay. 2nd
place was Thomas Malcolm with Chris Spellman in 3rd.
