This special rough-riding event was organised by Arthur Brown of Exeter on behalf of all CTC groups in Devon. Plymouth Section were there, and so were Torbay. After a picnic lunch in the sun at Bickington the participants set off, one at a time, around the selected route, being observed by a marshal at each difficult section of track.

The marking is always a bit suspect in this event as it depends so much on the marshal's opinion of what constitutes good and bad riding on rough ground, but many of our riders achieved high marks: Dayle Guy, with 57 points, was just two points behind the winning rider, and Martin Hills was close behind him. Dayle won the award for first junior. All our riders enjoyed themselves, however, and that is really what the event is all about.
