Wrigglesworth Building Services Series 2012 Round 1, Manor House Farm, Glusburn. 2/5/12 The WBS is the perfect series for an old beginner like me, and any other beginner for that matter young or old. And just like the last two years, we had plenty of ‘em! The only difference this year being the introduction of an E class. WBS could also stand for Wriggy Brings Summer! Well almost, at least it was fine for the day in what is fast becoming the wettest drought on record! It’s a winning formula. A steady route for the beginner and a little harder route for the more experienced rider who wants a good ride out on a Wednesday evening with his/her mates. Former club pr…

Middlesbrough & DMCs 2 day clubman trial this weekend has been cancelled. Although the sections & parking are excellent & ready to go, the country park area that riders must cross is heavily water logged, meaning with bikes going back & forth the potential of permenant damage was likely in this very public area. As a result the club has taken the responsible decision to cancel & thus eliminate any danger of either damge to the land or in the relationship with the new landowner. The Club has another trial planned for Sat 19th (2 weeks time) at the same venue, which hopefully weather permitting will run. Appologies to those who were planning on riding…

Thirty five riders arrived at Statham’s Farm, Matlock, Derbyshire last Sunday 22nd to take part in Round 3 of the Clubs Championship sponsored by PB Trialsport to be greeted by a typical British spring day. Yes you’ve guessed it it rained all day! But the inclement weather didn’t dampen the riders spirits and by and large a great days trialling was had by all. It was great to see riders supporting their club in the wet conditions. The Clerk of the Course Paul Beswick ably assisted by Tony Sprinks laid out an 11 section course ridden 4 times with the emphasis on good old fashioned throttle control and balance because over the many tree roots and rocks grip was at a premiu…

Due to a clash of dates the observer corps who are so essential to the enjoyment of trials was down to just a happy band of one in the shape of George Chinnery who we would like to sincerely thank for making the trip we really do stru…

Having not rode this trial for a few years is it recommended to carry fuel, they only reason is that I remember that one of our group ran out and and had to push his bike for a mile or so? Has the route changed so much since 2005/6? How big is the lap?
