Xmoor H&H

[RacersEdge]

Coombe Sydenham. What a venue! :cool: I had heard good things about the place and it really lived upto the reports. Ground conditions were perfect and there were 4 expert routes that really offered a good time saving. The course offered some seriously steep climbs and decents. Orsum! :D

My race started badly as I had neglected to practice dead engine start on the KTM and all the riders on my starting line were out of sight by the time I got moving :o I quickly caught the back of the championship pack and witnessed a rider two places ahead of me t-bone a deer :eek: and another ran behind said rider which was nearly collected by the guy directly in front of me caused me to serve to avoid hitting him up the tail pipe :o

I moved up through the class and got to 7th place [I'm told] when I got a rear wheel punchure :mad: I was running 15 psi to reduce the risk of punchures too :(

on the plus side I did learn a little more about riding the EXC in the woods and I felt there was more speed to come as the race wore on. :)

Orsum :xbeer

Full rebuild and she'll be ready for your next event :xbeer:xbeer

Don't forget to loctite everything :cool:

[Fryspeed]

Sorry to hear about the puncture.I use a heavy duty tube sleeved inside another heavy duty tube for trials tyres and only run 10 psi.But I dont ride at warp speed like you:eek:.The next xmoor event at Storridge woods is awesome as well.Hopefully I will be riding that one.:xbeer

[mxady29]

What a bummer, thought you were running Goldentyre Moose:confused:

[Boycey]

How you find the new bike paul? unlucky about ya result.

I've never suffered from punctures, use heavy duty tubes at about 10-12 psi. But like been said by fryspeed i aint travelling as fast as you champ boys.

My solution = mooses ( not the ones with legs ) :xbeer

[RacersEdge]

As I said, the hills were steep!

[RacersEdge]

Check this out Fokker, the guy was riding in the championship class and going well on this old maygo too :xbeer

[RacersEdge]

The stream was quite deep in the middle :lol:

Gary Warr the man behind SCEC having a blast on his Old beast :)

[RacersEdge]

Looking back down the biggest climb :cool:

[RacersEdge]

last one for tonight, just for gaylord :p

[motoxxx]

looks like a good day was had Paul.
was the course difficult if you didnt use the expert routes? the only reason i didnt do this,was alot of people we're telling me dad that after only 3 enduro's,this one might have been too much for me:o

[RacersEdge]

Grass roots h & h rider

[RacersEdge]

RacersEdge student, Guy. I can't remember the forum name, he was at the last trackday tho, might be Old dog :o

You would have been fine Lewis, from what people had told me the course is normally alot wetter when they run this event which makes things a little more tricky on a trails tyre.

tbh you would have made it up the expert routes, Gary made it up them on the ossa :cool: Having said that they were a challenge. The picture below shows and expert rider in trouble after being blocked half way up by a slower rider.

[RacersEdge]

These two give an idea of the size of the hill, although I had a long lens on the camera which made it hard to get a full shot.

The first pic shows the bottom section, the marshall is just going onto a narrow fire road and the second pic shows the top half of the climb.

[RacersEdge]

After loosing momentum :o

[motoxxx]

does looks a fantastic venue!

[RacersEdge]

Championship rider Gary Wright making it to the top, feet up and in good style :cool:

[RacersEdge]

An un known rider making it up the hill, this time feet off, what ever it takes :)

[RacersEdge]

I'm pretty sure this lad won, he looked very smooth and fast. From a trails background i'm told. :)

[RacersEdge]

No.12 kept the above honest and had the better line over/round the little logs :lol:

[RacersEdge]

Gary Warr showing you don't need the latest bike to have a fun time :D

[RacersEdge]

I think this is "cornflake" from adtrip :)

[RacersEdge]

This picture shows one of the smaller decents. [shame there are so many trees in the way]

[RacersEdge]

He didn't save this one :o

[RacersEdge]

Duck!

[RacersEdge]

It is Lewis. :D

[RacersEdge]

I liked it Boycey, I didn't even notice the "soft" power or suspension like I did on the MX track. I guess the EXC just loves it's natural habitat :)

[RacersEdge]

Dad was pleased to see Team REME being represented at the event. Brought back some memories of his REME championship winning days in the early 70's. He even passed the army camp that he severed his training at on the way to the event :)

[RacersEdge]

Gossy beiing on a feet draggin course spags?

[RacersEdge]

Thanks to the guys that I travelled down with in convoy. i can't remember all their names :lol:

:xbeer The button is also an excellent feature, non of this kicking non-sense :D

The track looks awesome!

Will it be having an outing at the next SCEC?

:o I did have to kick it on the start, I think I flatten the battery starting the bike on saturday afternoon :o

It did start on the button a minute before the race, but it didn't at crunch time :o:o:o

As for the next SCEC, I don't think so, I have a big booking for the MX experience on the same day :(
