Group Training session 5. Sproatley, 3rd February 2007
From a very frosty morning we finished up with a beautiful sunny afternoon, and a good group of riders for this session on the Sproatley circuit. This circuit is usually deserted but a few horses and riders and a number of cars on the back of the route had been attracted by a local hunt that afternoon.
Group one consisted of Dave Percival, John Savage, David Brearley, Ian Cartwright, Andy Carrol, Simon Mason, Paul Hayward and Barry Child(?). They had 3’50” over the second group of Steve Macklin, Nathan Chester, Ashley Smith, John Askew, John Lockwood, Karl Downes, John Brearley and Mattie Barratt. Seven minutes after the first group the scratch group started consisting of Joel Wainman, Mike Moss, Dave Shackleton, Steve Guymer, Lewis Jackson, Ben Roberts, Paul Jolliffe, Steve Ward, Ryan MacLachlan and Vince Cartwright.
It was soon obviously that the scratch group were not going to get on terms, a mixture of too fast abilities in the second group and a few hold-ups with horses. Pleased to say that there were no conflicts with the hunt supporters but one participant was guilty of throwing his bottle at a car around the course. I shouldn’t need to say that we don’t want any trouble with motorists.
I could have done with an intermediate group between two and three. If we get the same people next week we’ll put Steve Mac, Karl and Mattie, with Paul Jolliffe and Vince between these groups.
