old trials fanatic Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Midland Classic Trials Clubs 2nd March meeting was at Cookes Quarry, Youlgrave Nr Matlock on a sunny spring day with a 10 section 5 lap course along the wooded hillsides. The dry weather made the sections somewhat easier than usual but a good days sport was had by the excellent turnout of riders on a good mix of machinery. Consistency and concentration were paramount and two class winners, Pete Carson Unit 4 stroke and Rene Stubbs Pre 72 2 stroke, had to be decided on the furthest clean rule. As usual the Expert unit class was a Tiger Cub whitewash as the top three placings were again all on Cubs. It was great to see some more rigids taking part with Jon Tye taking a win on his BSA Bantam which bodes well for his ride in the forthcoming Scottish Pre65 2 day Trial. The club would like to thank all the observers who came along without which there would not be a Trial and would like to remind riders that the first 10 to provide an observer get a free entry.

greeves Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 You can win Robregordo yellow route. Kinlochleven is a different story as all the pilots race same category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 You can win Robregordo yellow route. Is that a promise I ride in Robregordo for the joy of it and the company. Those who have never been just do not know what they are missing. Apart from Scotland it's the best Trial in the season bar none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
