Results Peak Classic Trials Club Championship Rd 4 Dudwood Farm, Elton, Matlock, Derbyshire. Sunday 26Th May


Recommended Posts

Sometimes it’s not just the course that helps to make a grand day out trialing in the beautiful Derbyshire Peak district but the weather can turn a grim day into a grin day and last Sunday 26th was most definitely a big grin day for the riders who came along to Dudwood Farm to support the Peak Classic Trials Club who held Round 4 of their club championship at this ever popular venue.

For once the going was dry and grippy which meant that concentration was paramount because a lazy 5 could destroy your chances of a good result.

The Expert Twinshock category was very closely contested and a slack 5 nearly cost Simon Hiscock, Fantic, the win as he was challenged by Ian Margetts also Fantic mounted all the way to the end which resulted in Simon taking the spoils by the closest of margins just the one point. Local ace Stephen Bisby, Ossa, making a rare appearences at one of our events followed along in third on 15 points but the day really went to Simon and Ian with that close fought battle almost like a motorised game of chess asking the question who’s going to blink first.

On the Classic Expert British Bike route Peter Carson was out on his twinshock Bantam instead of his usual rigid but still took a commanding win over Tiger Cub mounted Richard Turner with a stunning ride losing just 1 point on section 5 a long meandering ride up a rock strewn stream bed with a sting in the tail of a short sharp climb over loose rocks covered in a liberal dose of Derbyshire mud. Great ride Pete !

Classic Expert Twinshock was comprehensively sewn up by current Championship leader and last years winner Anthony Sprinks on his Bultaco who had an excellent ride losing just 29 marks from Michael Atmore, Fantic, who lost 35 to take second place.

By far and away the best ride in the Intermediate class must be Colin Fray on his bog standard Dot complete with leading link forks who showed everybody how it’s done taking 1st place with a miserly loss of only 7. Super result Colin !

Intermediate Twinshock was won by Deane Wakeling , Fantic, for a loss of 9 marks which was also an excellent ride keeping current Intermediate Championship leader David Pattison back in second place on his Bultaco on 15 points.

Nice to see Jim Wickstead have a good ride on his BSA to win the Classic Intermediate British Bike class with a loss of only 9 marks beating the course setter Paul Beswick into second place on his James.

Classic Intermediate Twinshock saw a close battle with Peter Austin, Bultaco, and Honda mounted Sean Wickstead taking it right to the flag with both riders losing just 2 marks and sharing the win and Championship points. All in all a good day for the Wickstead clan.

Which brings us to Clubman British Bike and a battle of the over 60’s with Arthur Tomkinson on a very original looking Greeves complete with leading link front end taking the winners laurels ahead of Ray Critchlow on his Tiger Cub and Dave Pickering on his Francis Barnett all having an enjoyable battle along the way.

Last but by no means least the Clubman Twinshock competition was won by Kev Rivington on his Yamaha from Glyn Ridgeway having a good ride after an off on the first section of the day breaking his clutch lever but not letting a small thing like that stop him from taking second place ahead of Tony Fray on his TY250 Yamaha.

So a bank holiday outing was made all the more special by the kind weather and the smiles were as wide as they could be at the end of a well supported event. Lets hope this will be the template for the rest of the Championship season.

A big thank you goes out to all the observers who helped make everything run more smoothly. Looking forward to seeing you at the next round which will be at Carsons farm on June 30th. See you there ?
