Started from the Haynes Motor Museum at Sparkford (my start time 02:13 - yes, riding in the dark and cold!) and finished about 12 hours and 170 miles later in Torquay. Then a 75 mile thrash back to Sparkford to the trailer. The route is mainly on the tiny roads and lanes of deepest rural Somerset and Devon. There are around 15 observed sections, three stop and restarts and three timed speed tests all off-tarmac.
There are 5 classes covering all types of bike from old Brits to modern enduro weapons to Adventure bikes. Over the past couple of years as old age rushes towards me I've dropped down from the 'full on' class to a slightly easier class.
Any issues? Gear lever coming loose on the splines was the biggest one. Need to get that fixed.
How did I do? Cleaned all the sections, did all the stop and restarts and was fastest on the special tests. Won the Class!
