petedad Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Times getting close for Lochabers traditional SSDT precursor, The "Ian Pollock memorial trial" . This event is traditionally based in Kinlochleven and as well as having some of the best scenery and views in Britain it allows entrants to ride a few of the SSDT subs as well as the long ride out in the moors which the trial is famous for. The regs are now available for download at:- www.lochabermcc.co.uk , dont be slow though as entries are limited to 150 and the event in the past has been oversubscribed. Why not make a weekend of it , family , friends all welcome (you can even observe if you are keen enough,with or with out bike, just get in touch). hope to see you all there.

perce Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 So there is now three routes in a Scottish National,what's happened? Has the A route got harder? B route got easier? Need to know which route to enter on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedad Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hi Perce, whats happened in Lochaber trials in particular is weve decided to put in a stepping stone class for riders who feel they want a bigger than B route challenge but not as physically demanding as a full A route . The Masters route is made up of a selection of the A and B route sections but with the majority being B. Clear as mud but hope this helps.

perce Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Next question then, compared to 04 the 05 A route was way OTT, will this happen again this year? Seemed it was up in severity to give one rider a challenge but it made for a very tough day for everyone else on the A route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehill Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Perce - go for the Masters route - it should be just about right for us old timers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedad Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Perce, Im afraid I cant answer that as I wont be laying out the trial but what I would suggest is that you ask the question on our website forum as Im sure you are not the only one wondering. As O.T.H. said though the masters route is proving to be very popular at our trials and with regards the A route we do have a few very competent riders making a come back this year in the Scottish champion ship. Delighted your going to make the effort to come back again mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Kev <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pity the Yorkshire Centre can't take note of a mid routes popularity, there's Richmond & Bradford doing it down here but no one else. There's such a gulf between Hard & Easy at Centre Trials. It would be great if they ran a 50/50 so folk can attempt to make the step up or give us older ones who want a challenge without frightening the crap out of ourselves.

overthehill Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 couldnt agree more Techno - great day out - perfect mixture of sections for the 'masters' - bit of a mistake persuading Perce to change from 'A' to Masters though; cos he kicked ass and beat us all scottie was awsome to watch on the A route. well done Lochaber, another great trial roll on May and hope the weather warms up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
