Entered the first round of the Twinshock Trials Championship at Congleton this Sunday.

Very good trial with 20 sections 2 laps. Nice venue and very good sections and route with around 100 entries.

I think it is a very good idea and initiative to try to get out the twinshocks from the garages to use them a bit and return to the trials of the 70´s.

Bit muddy for a Spaniard... but aniway enjoyed a lot. Thanks to the motoclub.

Yes, thank you to the Congleton club for putting on what was a very enjoyable event. Proof enough that it's still possible to have a decent days trialling on good testing sections using a cheap and unmodified twinshock

The balance of the sections seemed about right on the hard route, three or four difficult testers, a few tricky sections out of the streams onto muddy banks and the rest relatively straightforward but easily capable of taking marks if riders were careless.

What was particularly nice was the chance to get the motor singing in 2nd and 3rd gear for the muddly climbs of sections 7 and 16. Section 16 - great section, brilliant, just like they used to be. No cobwebs left in the engine after that one... Sections like this seem to have disappeared over the years in classic trials with almost everything done in bottom gear now..

Well done also to Gerry Minshall, Peter Salt and Alan Wright for putting in the effort and trying to get a new twinshock series off the ground. This event has got the series off to a good start and will hopefully encourage riders to have a go and support other events in the series.

Also had the opportunity to try some Bultacos at the trial, the orange Motak Sherpa and a couple of Spanish Sherpas. Thoughts are on the Bultaco forum.

Not much mud, even with rain, at our round in Hampshire in July, but plenty of second and third. ¡Grandes montañas blancas!
