The 3rd Round of the Cornwall Oset Cup was held on Sunday 30th July at Burthy Row Farm, Fraddon. Organiser, Howard Stevens, gave praise for the 32 Oset riders and their OSET bikes who braved continuous torrential rain!
He said: "we have endured heavy rain before, but this was undoubtedly the worst and one section even had to be abandoned because the water level and mud rose too high to continue safely. Nevertheless there were smiles all round at the end and the OSET bikes all kept going without any problems."
With many people heading to Cornwall for Summer holidays, two visitors from Lancashire, had packed their OSET's along with their body boards! Dempsey and Rylan Pickup, have only started riding this year at the OSET Cup North, thoroughly enjoyed the change of venue - takiing home 1st place certificates in each of their classes.
Howard said: "Taking an OSET away is really easy. No oil, no petrol so they can pack easily in the car. It's great to welcome riders from all over the UK. It's all about getting on your bike, having some fun and making new firends. I think dad may have had to have a trip to the jet wash before heading back to Lancashire though!"
