schmorgas Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Le Allan Jefferies Trial You know, that if the biggest cycle race on the planet wants to get in on the act, it is a seriously good event! Plans are afoot for the 2014 Allan Jefferies Trial. Dates changed from the usual due to the Tour de France taking a small detour (depart) through Gods own country, the Yorkshire Dales. It is no small task to plan 40 sections around a 40 mile lap, and work starts early for the two stalwarts; Major Injury of the The Royal Engineers (gas), and General Disdain of The South Yorkshire Regiment of the Offcomeden Rifles. Aka Steve Fairbrother and Dave Wilson Accompanied briefly by myself; Private Parts, of the Bradley Hussars. For a week in May, Steve and Dave set up camp in Kettlewell to plot the route, making preparations for this outstanding event at some personal cost. Both fiscal and physical, as Steve had a dab into what turned out to be a rabbit hole. The bike continued without him, his ankle objecting firmly. Major injury. But Dave (onwards & upwards) Wilson pressed on. General disdain. Make no bones about it, broken or otherwise, this trial is a classic! And not only that, you don’t have to enter to get in on the fun. Forty sections need forty observers and some of them are only accessible by bike. A perfect opportunity then to ride in the normally forbidden trials nirvana that is the Yorkshire Dales National Park! You may even get a goodie bag from the delightful ladies of Halton Gill! This year Major Injury and General Disdain have new sections to challenge the entrants, so don’t miss it. Whether you enter or observe, you’ll love it. Keep ya feet up.
