The AMCA have confirmed
we are able to hold an Enduro Practice day for our first event in
March and there will be no requirement to
register with the AMCA before the event.
Don't
forget that if you book three events with us at one time we will
pay your AMCA registration costs, which will reduce the overall
cost of competing.

The
Club History: C.H.E.C is a small off road motorcycle club dedicated
to running Enduro and Hare & Hound style
events, using the area called the Chiltern Valley.
This broad area runs from Oxford in the West, going South to Marlow, High
Wycombe and Lane End, across to Wendover and back to Oxford.
Many of you will have ridden parts of the RUPP called the Ridge Way at
the foot of the Chiltern Hills, its good motorcycling land, not quite
up to Welsh standards, but never the less, up to 550ft of elevation, plenty
of large forest areas together with "set a side" land and good
road communications. Not bad considering we are only 25 miles as the crow
flies from the centre of London.
This certainly is an area of outstanding
natural beauty and yet is often overlooked by us motorcyclists and outdoor
types as just being too inhabited and too close to London to find suitable
venues. How wrong we are. There are a number of sites out there and plenty
of potential sites, mainly due to the large amount of private ownership
of the forests. These are regularly used for sporting game shooting, in
particular pheasant and partridge, which leaves these areas almost unused
for 8 months of the year.
The club mainly puts on Hare & Hound style events as these suit the
club and its riders. Fun 3 hour and 4 hour events, often with a break
in the middle for lunch and then back the opposite direction for the remainder
of the time. It certainly puts a smile on every ones face. The lunch break
allows the novice rider to rejoin after the regulatory mars bar and hamburger,
oh don’t forget the coffee ( we are dedicated competitors you know
) and lets the more expert fettle his bike for the next 2 hours of racing.
Solos and quads it doesn’t matter, young, old, female or male, we
have them all. Mainly 30’s to 50’s and mainly solos, mainly
sportsman or clubman standard, the name of the game is to enjoy your day,
be safe, and not be hassled by the MotoX red mist rider ( deeply frowned
on by the organizers who have been known to have a quiet word with a slightly
over enthusiastic rider ). Fun and enjoyable racing together with up to
4 hours competition time all for £ 45.00 is excellent value as well.

HOT NEWS !!
The AMCA have confirmed we
are able to hold an Enduro Practice day for our first event in March
and there will be no requirement to register with the AMCA before

This is great for any new
riders who would like to try our sport but will now not have
to pay the £15 registration fee.

Tyre
Rule: Following
our post race meeting last night, the directors decided that we
would be removing the tyre rule with immediate
effect. Just to clarify there will be no points penalty or
payment for riders using non trials tyre on rear for the next event
at Sevenoaks. This change is due to the club listening to riders
and also to align ourselves with other local clubs who have also
removed this ruling. |

Good
news everyone!
CHEC is back in action with
a new 'on-line' registration and payment system. Some steps need
tidying up but it's all working (download guide
