Brownrigg hosts Scots visitors
Forty-three riders cleared the frost from their windscreens to drive to Brownrigg Fell near Plumpton on Sunday October 18 for the Dixie Dee trial by the Cumberland County MCC .
Wrapped up for the cold the riders soon abandoned their extra clothes after lap 1 as the sun shone and showed views this excellent all weather venue offers
Four laps of 12 sections were used, some were new and some were old favourites rewarding concentration .
Riders from far and wide attended and two local riders held top places on the Clubman and easy routes Tony Smith on 6 followed by Mark Quinn who rescued a shaky start to finish on 10 followed by Trev Fawkes
On the easy route Derek Wilson on his twinshock finished on 1 followed by three riders from North of the border, Ross Thompson on 8 Andrew Emmerson on 9 and David Maxwell on 10
Special mentions go to Tom Joel on Youth B on Clubman route who lost 7
With the sun shining, the climate mild and blue skies above, the middle Sunday of October was as good as a day in October could be, so the entrants for the Cumberland County Club’s Dixie Dee trial at Brownrigg Fell had everything in their favour, not just the weather but also a well set out and planned multi-lap trial at this long used venue.
There were two courses, a standard clubman course and an easier version with the entry fairly split between the routes.
