Right I'm dropping off my misses to the cloths show at the NEC on the 7th December and was thinking what am I going to do?????? I was wondering if there was a trial on that day somewhere in the midlands. If so I could bring my bike or even observe if needed. Cheers

We seem to have been blessed with nice weather for most of our events this season and last Sunday was no different with the sun shining making Carsons Farm in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District bone dry for a change as when it is wet this historic venue can become quite tricky. Because of this the scores were low and the loss of a careless 5 could have meant the difference between success and failure. Departing from usual practice for this event the clerk of the course had decided to make two sections just for the premier classes and the Expert and Classic Expert classes rode 4 laps of 10 sections with the Clubmen, Classic Intermediate and Intermediate riders ridi…

Well just spent two days laying out the course for Sundays trial so now looking forward to loads of riders turning up for the 11.00am start to support the Club and make all the effort worthwhile. Usual mixture of rocks and tree roots for your delight and this time we are trying something a little bit different with two new sections just for the Classic Expert and expert riders. This is in response to the fact that we are now attracting a really high class entry in these classes but I also want to provide an easier challenge for the riders in the other classes i.e. Clubman, Classic Intermediate and Intermediate who will be riding 5 laps of 8 sections whilst the Classic Ex…

What a difference a venue makes. With round 6 barely a month ago at Bracken Rocks made much more difficult than envisaged by the clerk of the course, Paul Beswick, when he laid them out the previous day due to torrential overnight rain turning the course into a quagmire the course at Burycliffe Quarry was almost unaffected by the downpours of Saturday. The outcome was 10 sections ridden 4 times over and around the sandstone outcrop that comprises this ever popular Classic Trials venue. Riders came from far and wide with entrants from as far afield an Corby, Hull, Stockport and Skipton as well as the usual more local suspects. Yet again we were fortunate to have all 10 se…

Routes for Expert, Classic Expert, Intermediate, Classic Intermediate and Clubman.

Well the hot weather of late had left the popular venue of Bracken Rocks nr Holloway, Derbyshire in a lovely dry grippy state when clerk of the course Paul Beswick spent Friday and Saturday laying out the course for Sundays trial round 6 of their Club Championship. A crucial round coming half way through our season with the Championship placings starting to take form but with 6 rounds still to go and everything to play for in the race to win your class every point will count at the end of the year. Sadly the overnight rain on Saturday night caused havoc with some of the sections and scores were much higher than intended but that’s the sport of trials and almost every even…

Sunday 30th June dawned cool and cloudy but at least it was dry for the riders who journeyed to Carsons Farm, Grange Mill near Matlock for Round 5 of the Peak Classic Club Championship. There were quite a few date clashes this weekend with a number of events being held all on the same day. Classic and Twinshock trials are now becoming so popular all over the country that sadly this will happen from time to time so it was very gratifying to see so many riders make the effort to support their club. We really appreciate your commitment to Peak Classic Trials Club. So the sections had been eased slightly due to some very wet weather on Friday which finally mostly dried out i…

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 Marg…

Another classic trialling weekend graced by brilliant weather. Many thanks to Midge and the team for all their hard work. Great atmosphere and very well supported by Southerners who really make an effort to come. A few Irish too. Well done to my fellow Wobblers all bar one struggling to the finish.
