Powys enduro 1980

I found some pictures of the 1980 Powys for you.

I rode the clubman class on my PE400 Suzuki.

Heres the start

at the Laura Ashley factory carpark at Carno.

A very sturdy bike that required a “firm hand”

ie-You had to thrash it like a 125!

I recall the event was very sunny and pleasant,

quite dry

except for the “killer bog”

near the finish at Carno .

I think I was more or less on schedule up to that point

and then lost 10 or 15 minutes

(plus the equivalent weight in sweat)

extricating myself from the gloop!

Beautiful scenery and a well run event

-is it still going?
