"A hard days night!!!!!" "In what can only be described as "unbelievably wet!" the vastly skilled WOR Events team conjured up a plan to once again take on and defeat the wet weather that tried in vain to dampen the spirits of the latest weekend of off road WOR fun. Full Report & Results
Jon Hinam is the provisional winner of yesterdays Rhayader Club's "Jack Frost" Hare and Hounds. The event should really have been named "Noah's Revenge" due to the vast amounts of water around the whole track following 36 hours of continuous heavy rain, though (typically) it stayed dry during the event with even the occasional glimpse of the sun towards the closing stages. Many found the going just too tough - the water in many parts was reaching as high as the fuel tanks resulting in a number of drowned bikes. Where there wasn't standing (running) water there was the obligatory sticky, slippery mud and ruts. Jon Hinam however seemed to revel in the conditions and pulled away from the rest of the field at a rate of knots. The pic shows Jon tackling one of the wet sections, but this wasn't the worst section by any means. Report & photos available from Keith Bowen
