Olivers Mount - Gold Cup - M/Cycles

Hi,

Got the bike out and wandered over to Scarboro on Sunday for my first visit to Oliver's Mount and the Gold Cup. Weather was supposed to be great - however - it turned out to be quite dull so not the best in the tree lined areas.

It's a great little course with a bit of everything - it also seems like you are catapulted 30 years back in time!

Here's a few I took, C&C appreciated, thanks for looking:

Guy Martin, undisputed (current) hero around this track, 6 times Gold Cup winner on the trot!

Nice shots!

The last one just sums up how hairy races like this must be! wheel tilted over the jump side by side. Great action

Very nice set

No. 3 is a great capture

the last one works.

Great set of action,superb movement.

Nice set of shots, I like the one of Guy Martin on the back wheel.

I can't believe the bloke in #7 Bill Robertson is still racing.
I've got shots of him on a Morbidelli at the original Croft circuit back in 1980, he used to have the "Robertsons Gollie" on his helmet, which is not very pc these days of course.

I was still in short trousers back then you understand.

It is a pretty unique place - and the width of the track is scary heading into the hairpin off the start/finish - must take big cahoonas to race it.

For those who haven't been (Silverstone this weekend will feel like prison!):
