Final Championship points will be ready later in the week after queries have been checked.
The day dawned bright and sunny with the MX track nicely damp for the start of racing and the Youths 1 1/2 hour race .
Then the adults got off to an exciting start with a few classes having trouble at the first right hand bend. A few riders went down but were soon off and racing again.
Some high flying action on the MX track was followed by a blast across the moor and then over the stile. Then came "the BOG". Only a short section of mud but enough to get a couple of riders stuck.. There were also some dusty stubble sections where you could get a good high speed blast.
The toughest ride of the day was Nigel Love who fought a massive KTM 690 adventure bike round for 5 laps. At least he took the panniers off !
At the end of the day James Lindsay was the only rider on 10 laps to take the Expert win. Evergreen Richard Hay after a slow start was the fastest lapping rider at the end of the race to take 2nd . Greg Gallagher after a flying start was 3rd.
Danny McLean was the sole Expert B with a great 8 laps
Johnathan Macintosh lead the Over 40's with most riders putting in 8 laps. David Pearce was 2nd with Steven Anderson just behind in 3rd.
In the Clubman class Connor Paton put in an impressive ride with 9 laps and was pushed hard all day by Lee Disbury in 2nd and Jordan Christie in 3rd.
Clubman B was won by Nick Jones with Andrew Watt ( stuck in 2nd/ 3rd gear for most of the day) just 1 minute behind for 2nd. Dylan Scott continues to improve with a fine 3rd place.
The Over 50's continued to showcase the experience of mature riders with James Harvey on 9 laps but chased all day by Ian Bisset also on 9 laps . Gary Reid in 3rd on 8 laps.
Daniel Watson lead the Sportsman home on 8 laps with Lewis Kennedy keeping him honest all day for 2nd and Archie Simpson also on 8 laps in 3rd.
Sportsman Vets over 50 was won by Kenny Norrie on a rare outing but showing he still has the speed. Andrew Bernard took 2nd and David Clark 3rd.
Lucy Storey the only lady rider out finished a fine 5th .
The Gentleman Racers Over 60 class was won by "Ze Duck" Alasdair Anderson ahead of Gary Williamson with both riders on 6 laps . John Kerwin had a long drive North but had to retire.
It was a tough day for all the riders with numerous mechanical problems. Some riders only had 2nd gear (later 3rd gear) and others had no clutch or rear brakes - but they all carried on.
Enduro riders never stop.
A big thank you to the Highland Club for all their efforts in putting on the event.
And a thank you to all the clubs who put on events throughout the year - all your efforts are much appreciated. And a thank you to the SACU for the live timing system run all year by Sandy Mack.
Finally a thank you to all the riders and support crew who travel all over the country to make the sport one of the best in the country.
