03/05/2009: ROCK OIL AMCA Hare 'n' Hound Rnd 2 Somerley Park Ringwood
1st overall

southern counties enduro club at somerley park which is a part of the new forest in ringwood hampshire, the circuit consisted of over a 5 mile lap of trees!! a loose loamy soil with a fair amount of sand, a few fast  stoney straights technical ups and downs and a few bike swallowing ditches and bogs thrown in for good measure!!

the flag dropped! my start was good around the first corner i was running in 4th place i charged hard coming bar to bar a couple of times to take the lead within the first few corners, i got straight into a good rythm and began pulling away, on lap three there was a hold up at the timing lane so i sat and waited my turn knowing i had around a 30second to a minute lead over second place when all of a sudden 2nd place had que jumped and sat on my back wheel after a few choice words i got my head down again and gapped the chasing pack which i had already done previously on the opening laps, at the half way stage of the 3 hour race i came in for fuel a quick bite of a jaffa cake bar and was off again, i had stretched out a 3minute lead by this time and was riding smooth and in control ( for once haha ) i stopped briefly again to get a track marshall for a rider who sparked himself clean out on a whooped out section of the track!! i started to get dehydrated towards the end as my camelback had split and kept my rear fender more hydrated than me!!! i rode safe for the last half an hour and still managed to maintain a plus 2minute lead over 2nd place.

a good day at the track all in all bike was great suspension was perfect and the hour in the garage sharpening the footpegs with a needle file made sure i was glued to the pegs and not around them trees!!!

iv gotta dedicate this race to my grandad carter who lived next door to me and has supported me through my racing who passed away early sunday morning, i was not told untill i returned home as my mum and dad didnt want to make it difficult for me on race day! this ones for you!!!! RIP

05/04/2009: ROCK OIL AMCA Hare 'n' Hound Rnd 1 Shuckburgh Hall Daventry
1st overall

got off to a mega start by getting the lead straight away which gave me a great advantage going into the dense dark slippery woods!! with the first lap complete i took full advantage of a clear track and had over a minute advantage over the nearest rival which i increased to over a 10 minute lead by the end of the 3 hour duration! the day went amazingly well in the results aspect but my riding seemed shocking to say the least! i felt really bad and came off a few more times than i would of liked to!! haha suppose i gotta take the rough with the smooth!!

12/04/2009: Putoline X Country Rnd 3 Ashby DLZ
2nd overall 


05/04/2009: Great Britain X Country Rnd 2 Stone Staffs
5th overall 2PRO lites class

the weather was perfect and after a medioca start i was running around top 20. i pushed hard for the first lap after a few aggressive manouvres and worked his way into 11th, with arm pump setting in i had to relax for a lap which by then the lead group had gapped me. Getting back on form picking riders off which seemed to boost my confidence as the race went on, at the half way stage i was 9th overall and third in the pro lites class so had to work harder if i was going to get a better result! After more perseverance i found myself up to 6th but still 3rd in the lites class, as i caught a glimpse of Lee Edmondson on the last but one lap who has been on top form lately! With Edmondson 30secs ahead he had a taste for 5th place, so he made a charge and a successful pass! He harassed me  for the rest of the final lap but he managed to stay upright pass the lapped riders cleanly and then pull away to finish a comfortable 5th overall and 2nd in the pro lites class!

"Im absolutley chuffed with as only 4 weeks ago i was nursing my arm which i injured the saturday before gbxc round 1!! luckily there are drop rounds in the series which now stands me in good stead! thanks everyone for all your help and speak to you all soon."

9th overall 3rd e1 4stroke class

i am happy with my result as i had 3 not so good special tests as my first was slow my second i crashed and my third was being held up by a fallen rider, i managed to stay clean on the tight time check which was the saviour to my results as only 10 out of the large capacity championship class were able to clean the time!! thanks to all helpers and sponsors!
