Round 3 of the Bexleyheath club championship was held today down at Richards farm in Wainscot. Very wet and cold conditions still had most of the regulars turn up just in time for the awards presentation. Gary picked up his gong for best expert for the year(he only won it cause I couldn't be bothered to turn up:):)). Young Jamie Webster took first class honours on the youth red route and also my old man picked up an award for adult red route (that was fixed)

Well done to all our winners especially Gary who this year has managed to do the treble by winning the Nktc inters and Se inters and the aforementioned gong, jammy git!!!.

The conditions on the Saturday were almost tropical monsoon and we had to lay out most of the sections well easy just to make sure we didn't have a repeat of last weeks team trial which ended up almost impossible. Come the Sunday the ground had almost dried out due to the high winds over night and thank goodness the torrential rain had ceased late Saturday afternoon. Loads of grip making our white route to easy or so I thought having gone round first lap for zero but looking back seeing cliff fighting with a huge bush and loosing a five, and also Gary putting his feet down in the most easiest parts of sections which was most unlike him to make that many stupid mistakes.

Even spotted Richard dabbing here and there, Richard normally is impossible to beat in the wet especially in his own back yard, but I have a feeling I beat him today having only dropped three or four marks. Those irc tyres do work.

Where were you Ed your meant to do the come back thing and woop cliffs arse, me and gazza are getting bored of it now weekend after weekend its getting tiring, sorry Cliff but you always deserve a mention every write-up its now the norm:):).

Did I mention our team came third in the team trial last week and someone I know could only manage 2nd to last, and we even beat Richards team, halleluiah, praise be. Bexleyheath part timers Monte and Roy also had a smile on there faces riding around the course so I assume they had a good day, it was good to see Dave Randal on his immaculate refurbished 250 pinky-photo to follow, and after selling his brand new beta that he couldn't get on with I thought it might be the last we see of Dave.

Well im off next week to Hungry hill for Windleshams cup trial on the 28th a most excellent event which me and Gary and the old man do every year to get rid of those Christmas blues and the hangovers.

Thanks to every one who make the bexleyheath events happen year after year as I say you know who you are,,,,cheers and have a good Crimbo and new year to everyone.

Chow for now Rob Fleet signing off>>>>>>
