Haven't heard if I have an entry yet and getting close, anybody any info ? (yes I did send SAE's) Thanks Ross

A team of helpers from RRND were at the Ockley last night, clearing undergrowth and fallen trees from this pleasant wooded venue, which features a stream running throughout its length. There is more water in the stream than we normally see at this time of the year, and as all the sections are in and around the stream it is probably worth wearing waterproof socks this Sunday if you are planning to ride! The team managed to clear numerous fallen trees, debris and undergrowth from the stream and some new sections were uncovered as a result. We have have pencilled in 12 sections which should be different to those used last year and the plan is to run the sections over the…

It was great to see so many new faces at Round 6 of the Club Championship held at Bracken Rocks last Sunday 29th July. The weather forecast foretold of showers around midday however these seemed to bypass around this ever popular Derbyshire Peak District venue and the 4 laps of 10 sections stayed dry all day. The sections were mostly flowing turns around and over the granite rock steps and boulders that give this venue it’s name. The Expert Twinshock route was won decisively by Dave Devereaux on his immaculate Beamish Suzuki with a loss of just the one. His single dab coming on section 3 a deceptively difficult rock strewn slot. Well worth making the long journey to samp…

Well the half way point of the season approaches and Rd 6 of the Peak Classic Trials Club Championship comes to Bracken Rocks, Holloway near Matlock, Derbyshire this Sunday and with fine weather forcast for the day there will hopefully be a good turnout of riders to contest the Championship places up for grabs. As always there will be classes for British Bikes, Pre85 Twinshocks and Pre95 Air cooled monos. Routes for Expert, Classic Expert, Intermediate, Classic Intermediate and Clubman so whatever your level of ability there is something for you. I was down there today and the ground has dried out nicely after all the torrential rain we have had of late so we will have …

To be Held at Emmotts just outside of Silsden on Sunday the 22nd of July. Three Courses for all classes Adult and Youth along with the usual Conducted course for Small wheel and Electric Bikes. Start time is 11am and the weather is looking good for the Weekend!

The trial due to be held at Beak Hills Chopgate this Saturday, Has been canceled due to waterlogged ground. (getting fed up of saying/typing that) could you please pass word on to anyone who was thinking of riding. Cheers. Paul & sorry guys/girls.

The Trials to be run at Ian's Rocks will start at 12 noon for the Small Wheels and Electric Bikes followed by the Main Trial at 2pm. Ian's Rocks is off the A59 Harrogate to Skipton road at Blubberhouses. From the A59 take the Hardisty Hill turnoff opposite the Fewston Reservoir and continue up the Hill until you come to Menwith Hill Road. Turn and follow flags from there.

Who is stopping where ? We will be in the Rugby field at the bottom of Sardent village.Easy access into town,300 yards from start, shower block and Spa shop.Wonder if that ancient crusty museum of a bar will be open this year.

Anyone know what time this trial starts on Saturday ? TC says 12am but TMX says 2pm ? I have tried to call but the contact number in TC is wrong.

With England of late having a bit of a monsoon season it was touch and go whether last Sundays trial would go ahead or not but the Clerk of the Course at Peak Classic Trials Club was determined to follow the old adage “the show must go on” and managed to lay out a course of 10 sections to be ridden 4 times finding the dryer patches in the woods at Carsons farm and it was most heartening to hear all the congratulations from the riders at the end of their days sport. Peter Carson on home turf rode up a class this weekend riding his rigid BSA Bantam to victory in the Expert British Bike class with a stunning ride to lose just 2 marks which was by far and away the best ride …

After two days setting out and 400 rolls off kitchen towels to dry it out the course for Sundays trial is in fine fettle. Surprisingly after the torrential downpours of late the ground has soaked it up very well and we have 10 sections ready and waiting for you tomorrow. Obviously due to the recent weather we have laid out the sections to be wide and flowing with loads of lines available so no reason to oil that hinge in your bike just Classic style flowing sections perfect for Classic bikes. What more could you ask for? Well the brolly dollies are all busy elsewhere but feel free to bring your own or preferably an observer who will be made very welcome. Start time 11.0…

D Day Landings … Wednesday the 6th June. D Day !!! (D for Darren perhaps…?) Also round two of the Wrigglesworth Building Services Summer Series for Beginners, in association with Colin Appleyard Motorcycles. Fatherhood obviously suits Nathan Wrigglesworth as he set out a superb trial. Congratulations Wriggy. Round two took place at Lumb Falls, Cowling (ish). A fabulous venue offering a good variety of terrain, stream, steep climbs and rocks. Aided and abetted by a deluge of rain for an hour before the start, it provided a progressively more and more slippery set of sections enjoyed by a good entry of 44 riders. Not bad at all considering the horrendous rain from 5…

The course will include roadwork and be on the Clee Hill, which …

Big thank's to Ian Middleton and his team for all there hard work. Saturday loop must be the best run round anywhere with 50/60 miles of fantastic hill terrain. Absolute bargain even by us Scot's standard of £35 for the weekend and a free mug if you finish. One route and very non-stop as the style of sections dictate this,but great not to look for section markers all weekend. Well attended by "forigners" but us Scots are gie thin on the ground especially youngsters. Will be back next year, hopefully with a bigger posse from the Wobbler's. Well done to everyone involved.
