Consett and DMC are to run a trial this Sunday for all you stir crazy snow affected trials riders Butsfield Quarry 11 am start 3 courses Expert, Clubman and Easy A,B,C,D schoolboy classes

Rob Loney won it followed by Jon Hillam and Chris Hunt. Cracking Arena sections including two skip sections and one over an Escort van. Watch out for video on Youtube!!!

Not seen any other post on here other than the super quick results service but last weekends Normadale double header was a cracking weekend and thanks must go to all that helped put the two events on. I believe both trials had full entries and the organisers put on events that admirably catered for this number of riders.

Rode the Craven Trial yesterday. Good trial, but very slippery where it was wet. Just wondered if anyone had any results yet?

Anyone from here going to the Cumberland 2-day British bike and twinshock trial up here in the sunny lake district?

Just about to make my Summer comeback, so thought I'd check out how my mates have been doing. Looked on the results page and it looks like an I D Parade of the bad boys of trialing. BUt where was the pictures of "Smoking Tim" and "Bing Bong Bingley". And look at all those new bikes......There's been some money spent in the winter.

I was just wanting to make sure that the Trial was still on as it clashes with the Lakes 2 Day Trial ??? Cheers as always The Wobbler !!!!

As the trial progressed reports came in that The Clubman route was proving more difficult than usual for The Dales Club with several riders retiring as the adverse cambers and steep hills proved a step too far.

The Expert route had a good spread of marks throughout although fatigue was to …
