BOC relays M40 Class sandwiched between Roger and Marcus.
I knew that SYO were our main competition and they'd foolishly put their best runner on 1st leg (not like us, eh Rog ;-) and if Rog came back with Barrable all I had to do was to do a similar time to Wardy. Went out about 20 secs behind him and worked hard to catch - not helped by alternative routes on the long leg (I went round). Finally caught up and we to'd and fro'd around the course, working very hard. Map attrocious so any breakaway was promptly dashed by a wobble here and there. In the end Martin just outran me for home. I knew my job was done.
Marcus caught and passed Tryner to win by almost 5 minutes.

BOC Champions - FVO!!!!

Missed prizegiving for a 7.5 hour drive home.

BOC at (nothing)New Beechenhurst in F o D. Quiet early start so started hard and tried to push strong. Managed catch sight of Peely at far end he was very useful for three trick controls. Then we fought it out. A few separate routes but going same speed so back together when I just undershot a dutch near end. Dying on the hill-where I lost 2nd place to Barret but pleased to get third! Logue 1st as usual.
