    Sidcup MCC @ Canada Heights. What a fanastic day. I loved it. Didn't drop
    any time in the "Easy Rider" class. Until with two laps to go my bike fouled
    a plug!!!
    Ran back to the pits, (about a mile uphill) got another one (used but
    cleaned up) fitted it. Did one and a half laps and then fouled that one.
    Whilst fitting another one (A spare from my CR250) I noticed the HT lead was
    loose going into the plug cap!! Pushed that back in and finished the lap.
    Before the special stage a new found friend took the needle in the carb down
    one notch and the bike was a lot crisper and wasn't running as rich.
    Did the special stage, came back and noticed that the wires on my rear brake
    sender unit had come loose and burned out!

    So all in all an enjoyable day and I made the right choice by getting into
    Enduro.
    Got a few bits to sort on the bike and then I'm right up for the next one.

    Got up this morning in a lot of muscle pain, that's what 4 hours riding non
    stop on a motocross track and through tight wooded sections do to a body. On
    the upside, I lost 3LB's.

    <impressed> I think I'd end up collapsed in a little heap if I tried
    racing for 4 hours off road.

    Oh yeah, give me a break, I'm knackared.
    How'd you fancy marshalling for half a day next Sunday?

    We have a closed to club motocross at Canada Heights.
    I'll be entering in the "fun" group as I now ride an enduro bike.
    There are some VERY good riders in the expert class.

    To enter, I need a marshall. Doesn't matter if you can't, as I can marshall
    myself.

    LOL, I meant that I wouldn't race, but I'd offer my services as a marshall.
