I hadn't ridden this for a few years and had forgotten how good it can be, particularly when the sun shines at Easter. Using the same venue, and rocks, as last years French world round was a shock for some of the English riders. Later the sections returned to the standard I remember - easier than all the other French trials, which is fine by me on the S3 route. Small things make the days easier - no real time limit, food and fuel supplied and an amostpheric arena style final section that turned out to be one of the trickiest on the top 3 routes too. Michael Brown was best expert and Ben Wibberley third in S1 class. Scarborough clubmen topped the S4 and Randonneurs cla…

Hey all! Just reminding everyone about the 4 day trial in france. It's an amazing trial with beautiful scenery and amazing zones! AND I can finally ride it this year It's taking place from the 11th - 14th July Little LINK for information about it. I have been helping trace the zones for the past few weeks and I can tell you that they are better than ever!!! Any information needed either get in touch with the club president through the site or get in touch with me. See you all there

Cumberland County MCC host the 6th round of the Novogar series on Sunday 7th June at Newbiggin near Brampton Cumbria. The Alan Trophy trial is also a round of the National over 40 championship. 2009 will be the first time that a 50/50 route will be introduced aimed at increasing the entry numbers and should appeal to competent Clubman riders. The natural streams, rocks and banks which normally feature in the 2 x ten mile laps of 22 sections will now have an alternative route by-passing the biggest steps and waterfalls. It is also thre intention to run the trial without roadwork.( Subject to confirmation) Entries will remain open until Tuesday 2nd June so ring Event Secr…
