ruffrider Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Thanks for that Stuart. We went to the exhibition on it's first or second day and really enjoyed it. The missus and I were wondering what to do tomorrow so we might all pop along to the display (it's only about 10mins drive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been able to get down to see this. I thought I had it sussed when a meeting was arranged in Bradford, but found out I was double booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffrider Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I'll see what I can do. Stuart, what time are the Demos today ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffrider Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I have to say Stuart that was an absolute brainwave someone at BDMC had. The day was excellent!!!!!!! It allowed the crowds to get right up to the action and allowed your riders to show off. I was prticularly impressed with the younger riders who were clearly nervous performing in front of a crowd. I've got 40 or so pictures ... they're not all fantastic but hopefully they show what can be done in a small area. I'll see about getting them published on here somewhow. Glad the horses were away for the day otherwise they might have poo-poo'ed the idea of sharing their paddock with a load of bikers (most dressed in bright red costumes). Anyway, please pass on our congratulations for a great event and I hope other clubs can take a leaf out of your book and bring trials to the masses. What capped it off for me was hearing the old dears cheering on the younger riders as they fearlessly tackled those pretty daunting and tricky obstacles. Richard.
