The Lancs County team were out in torrential rain on Monday finalising the sections for Saturday’s Angela Redford Trial, the fifth round of the ACU Normandale Masters Trials Championship.
Lancs have held several rounds of this popular series for riders over 40, 50, 60 and those of any age on air-cooled monos in the past, but never before have they been able to use two superb pieces of land, linked by a very minor road in Roeburndale.
There are ten sections at Barkingate Farm which was last used about five years ago – maybe more! – and nine at Middle Salter Farm with all 19 sections ridden twice. The five man team had a lot of work to do, filling in holes in the rocky streams that must have seen massive amounts of water in the past, but now all are totally rideable, with two of the team (who will be observing – not riding) providing confirmation they are well fettled for the 60 plus entry.
In fact there are still entries available for those who can only confirm a ride at the last minute, the club understands that not everybody can confirm an early entry due to work or personal commitment and the club is happy to offer this facility, so phone secretary Mike Rapley on 07788 161929 if you want a last minute entry.
The trial starts at LA2 9LL, Barkingate Farm near Wray, Lancashire at 10.30am on SATURDAY, June 3.
