SEVERAL members of the Sudbury Motor Cycle Club were among more than 200 riders who competed in the ninth and final round of the British Enduro Championship at Thetford Forest.

Overnight rain made the going tough with several retirements, however, there were successes for Sudbury riders.

All eyes were on Jack Nicolaou to see if he could improve on his fifth place in the Clubman E2 Sub Class.

He managed 17th overall in the Clubman Class with fellow Sudbury member Alex Walton 14th and other Sudbury riders Ben Ramus, Nathan Greenaway and Lee Monger 33rd, 38th and 50th.

In the Clubman E2 Sub Class Walton was fourth and Nicolaou sixth.

With that sixth place, Nicolaou finished as the fourth best rider in Great Britain in his Sub Class.

Daniel Piper finished 27th overall in the Expert Class but was seventh in the E1/2 Sub Class, scoring nine points.

In the Expert Over-40 Class, Mark Green finished 15th, Richard Walters 17th, Gavin Hockey 23rd and Phil Roper 24th. Nigel Ross, riding in a British Championship for the first time in the Expert Over-50 Class, had a creditable 11th place.

The next Sudbury Club event is the Extreme Enduro at Foxborough Quarry in Sible Hedingham on Monday, January 2.

Meanwhile Sudbury Motor Cycle Club president Roger Chaplin has been re-elected as one of the Vice-Presidents of ACU Eastern, the governing body for Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.

It is a position he has held for more than 40 years.
