old trials fanatic Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 With what was probably the hardest trial that the club has ever held Round 2 of the Peak Classic Trials Club Club Championship proved a real test of stamina and determination. The event held at Dudwood Farm near Elton Derbyshire on Sunday 15th March was also a round of the East Midlands Centre Classic Championship with points scored counting for both Championships which might explain the severity of the sections ? Section 9 took the most marks and on the Clubman route quite a few riders went over the handlebars at the steep run down to a very very tight turn back up and over the slippery boulders and tree roots than comprised the sections in the wooded half of the course. The rest of the lap consisted of the familiar stream sections which in contrast to the woods were much more enjoyable and though they took marks from the strong field of 59 riders most of them had no complaints. The Expert British Bike class was a runaway win for Pete Carson out on his BSA Bantam for a change, obviously getting used to Bantam power in the lead up to the Scottish. Dave Glover also on a Bantam , is there a theme developing here ?, won the 50/50 route and ex works Francis Barnett rider Mick Ransom took the honours in the Clubman class of course riding his trusty Francis Barnett. Best ride of the day was no real surprise and went to Steve Garlick winning the Expert Twinshock route on his Armstrong who had an outstanding ride only losing 12 marks way less than anybody else in any class. The Pre 95 air cooled mono class won by Andrew Land on a TY 250 was once again well supported but extra entries are always welcome. The Club would like to thank all the observers who had a very long day mostly due to the long delays with the long queues in the woods resulting in the event taking much longer than normal to complete. At least the weather was spring like but the Club really appreciates your dedication and support without which we could not organise our events. The next event Round 3 of the Club Championship and also another round of the East Midlands Centre Classic Championship will be at Statham's Farm opposite the golf course just above Matlock and the organisers hopefully will try to lay out a more rider friendly course especially for the Clubman Class and hopefully keep the riders scores down to double figures.
