Two Bad Boys on the Bole Hills Bad Boy.
Thanks to those who raced the 5th running of the Bole Hill Bad Boy on 28 October 2023.

Well done to those who dropped straight on the first check point despite the clag which is more than the race organiser and his two accomplices could manage! Finally thank you to Mick Cochrane for nominating the event for his defence of the Eric Mitchell Trophy. I suspect it would have been satisfying for Eric to see the handicap result in a swap between 1st and 2nd although he might have preferred a true geriatric to win the handicap. We can only speculate…
