Narel and Eller were the on ly riders to drop nine points in the 79-mile end uro . Matt Wingo, Brent Floyd, Jared Gr een and Larry Bergquist followed with 10 p oints dropped . Thi s w as th e first time tha t the Blackhawks have run their annual en duro in the sp ring time, d ue to th e conflic t its regular schedule wo uld creat e wi th rid ers wanting to go to the ISDE in Sep tem ber. The dec ision to move it up to Ap ril must ha ve bee n a wise ch oice, as over 170 riders sho wed up to get an ea rly sta rt on their seaso n . The rid ers sta rted th e da y w ith a sho rt trip down the blacktop that turned right ba ck int o the start area's riverb ottom woods tha t would be the first test of the day. Most o f the top ' rid ers mad e it to the firs t check with a zero point loss due to the fact tha t the blacktop gave th em a little edge go ing in, a nd a couple of long lie Id s go t them back on time. A A r id er Ja red G re en s a w h is ov erall chan ces become tougher, when he was the only rid er to bum the first check by a minut e: This w o u ld p rove to be h is undo ing. fo r wi tho u t th os e "hot" p oints, G ree n wou ld h av e on ly drop ped eight poin ts and won the ov erall. Tho n e xt tes t se c t io n was s ev e n mil es through the hare scrambles course a t the Blackhawks clubgrounds. Everyone was checked in a t the beginning, then ther e was a chec k halfw ay through an d a check coming out of the section. 01 th e to p ride rs, Green was th e on ly rider to zero the middle check whi le the othe rs d rop ped one point. At the exit check, all the top riders dropped lour poin ts. Several othe r short stints in the woods saw everyone stay ing th e sa me as they ze roed th e next chec k, and then dropped one point a t the sixth chec k. All of the top-10 riders then lost the same poin ts a t checks seven and eigh t. Most of the riders were glad to see the tw o river crossings miss ing from the annual ev ent. The last cha nce to ma ke up poin ts wa s in the fina l lour mi les of woods at the 11th check. The final section also proved to be the most cha llengin g pa rt 01 th e day, as it lea tured se veral big mud hol es and wa ter-cov ere d bottomla nd. It wo uld also pro ve to be the undoing of some riders who cou ldn ' t make the SO gro un d mi les on one tank of gas . Several rid ers ran out 01 gas in th e las t sectio n, jus t shy of the fmal checkpoint. Senior A class winner Bob Bean ran out of gas in th e m id dle of the woods, went on rese rve and ran out gas again just as he approached the fina l checkpoint. Results 0/ A: 1.
