olaf the lofty Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've been riding bikes for 40 yrs now so I thought it was about time to have a go at getting muddy. I picked up an old Fantic the wednesday before Christmas and entered my first trial on the 27th. Possibly a little under prepared, I managed two laps of 10 sections before retiring, exhausted, with a fairly respectable cricket score! Getting the bike up to speed will be a lot easier than doing the same with the rider, but Hey, someones got to be last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabie Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 welcome to our world! it should become more fun / easier once the sun comes out and it dries up some of the mud. plenty of local events with a yellow route to get you going good luck!

Hi Rabie, seasons greetings, I remember your goodself from the Sidcup club....I used to live down the road from you when I lived in Hallsfield Road near Bridgwood roundabout.Used to struggle on a Monty 315R (and WR250F for trhe enduro's)....I even made the front page of the club mag' as it had been a slow news month. Yellow route:- strange how the route colour differ's in areas....yellow is super-duper-huge-hopping-big boulders-experts in Norfolk/Suffolk area..but I am colour blind. Our easy route is orange, then white, then 50/50, blue/red, then yellow, don't see many yellow routes to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
