A healthy entry of 46 riders took part in the the second round of this 4 round summer series and for once the sun did shine on a macc trial. 9 riders tackled the hard route with Jess Bown taking her first premier at a Macc trial - losing just 6 marks. Jess beat riding companion, Chris Alford, by just a 1. A costly 5 on section 10 by Chris proved to be decisive. Mitch Brightmore was best youth on 20 but he still failed to beat dad Chris who lost 19 or perhaps Mitch just gave him the win as a early father’s day present .
Only 2 riders took on the inter route. Mike Renshaw coming out best over O/40 beating Phil Coombes by 11 marks.
Only two riders stayed in single figures on the middle route. Kev Stannard took best O/50 with a score of just 3 but equally impressive on the tricky sections was Rod Kelsall on 5. Rod was riding a TY 175 Yam . Best youth was Andrew Renshaw just seeing off the challenge of Andrew Worth.
On the blue route, a smaller than normal entry of just 5 riders was lead by Will Tyler who dropped a single dab on section 9. Dougie Greenall was cursing his 3 5’s taking his score to 16. Two of these 5’s came on section 1 which after last years very wet trial had developed a nasty slot on the approach to a climb over roots to catch out the front wheel.
Last but not least the white riders were lead by Peter Lakin on his Gas Gas - despite trying his best to give it away by having some soft dabs on section 6 . Peter took the win on 12, just ahead of Steve Green on 14 .A determined ride by newcomer to the sport David Harrison enabled him to score 11 points and move into the lead of the white championship.
Thanks to everyone involved in organising what was generally a very good trial with very little if any queuing and 4 laps of 10 sections completed in less than 3 hours.
