the addict Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Really big thanks to North Derbyshire Youth MCC and Manchester 17 for putting on a cracker of a trial today. Weather was perfect and a great mix of sections from loose climbs/logs/streams and steps set in incredible countryside. First time I have done the Trial although most of the lads have done it a few times and have always raved about it, can see why now. Dad had a brilliant ride on the 4rt as did young Joe but doubled his score late in the Trial with a silly five. Me,Ralph,Jon and James would have been about the same score mid thirties I hope. 40 sections over a single lap of about 40 miles i think, took 7 hours to complete but seemed to go really quickly, all of us were surprised how late it was 5.30 ish when we got back to the vans. Big thanks again to the clubs and observers, must have been a little cold on some exposed sections. The route marking was the best I have seen, flags just about every half mile or less and no chance of going wrong anywhere Going to have a practice in wales next week ready for the jack Wood on the 25th, just wish we lived an hour or so closer to the area.

tordijarres Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Unfortunately I didn't finish as had a large slit in the tyre attempting the step at theend of the 1st loop- and tyre came off the rim. Only one person at the whole event had a "beader" as I call them, but then my brother had the dog turds...and Dad was spectating in the car which had our foot pump in.... Anyway, point of the post is to say thanks to Rod Nichols who leant me the beader. I'm also trying to trace another rider in avan opposite the back of his, who leant me a foot pump, which unfortunately broke whilst someone was giving it some hammer whilst we tried to get the tyre on the rim. I left a note tucked into the van door handle, with my contact detils, and have bought a new pump ready to post out, but he hasn't been in touch- let me know your name and I will send it on!
