A great day out at Lauder after a lot of hard work put in by Steven Currie and the team at Dirtbike Evolution.
Some great racing all day and some tight finishes.
Andrew Bisset put in a great effort despite being the only Expert out - but turned up and supported the club. Riders need to ride events if clubs put them on or clubs will just stop doing them.
It costs a lot of time and money to setup and run an event - all you have to do is turn up and support the clubs. Or if you don't want to race then get involved in organising events and keep the sport going.
Enduro sport is run by volunteers - no one makes money out of it. So if you don't get involved there may soon be no events to ride.
Steven and Natalie at DBE have announced that this was their last event as it takes too much time and they are not getting any younger. See their full release here.
Sad to see such a great club not running any more events after some great Scottish Championship events and a superb British round.
But there was some great racing on the day. In Clubman class Robbie Davidson took the win from Alex Pringle despite his best efforts. Cai Hewitt had a horrible start when his bike wouldn't start - but never gave up and charged hard for 3rd to get as many points as possible.
In Over 40's Andrew Currie was flying all day to take the win one lap ahead of James Harvey with Gavin Johnston in 3rd.
Chris Gallagher smiled his way all day to the win in Clubman B ahead of stylish Alister Barr and Gavin Donald.
Andrew Flockhart lead the Over 50 class home ahead of a tight battle between Graeme Paxton ( on the Ex Steven Currie Gas Gas ) just 0.2 of a second ahead of Mike Rigg in 3rd
In Sportsman Jed Burn was the happy winner with Kyle Currie in 2nd and Mark Wilson in 3rd
In the super competitive Sportsman Vets class Steven Clark finished the day on top ahead of Jon Denison with Gerry Day in 3rd.
Thanks to DirtBike Evolution for a great day out - and 5 years of great events.
