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.

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.

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.
