  1. hmm they dont really want to be changing any geometry to the bike stands fine , unless its got something to stop you putting your feet down :lol:

    simple, use tie raps!!!! cheaper B)

  2. The "A" class riders are 16 years old, yes? and cleaver enough to understand the game

    lets say you are an "A" class rider, North Yorkshire Lad

    Now lets say you were the last away, 1 rider per min, that 24 mins

    Say 6 mins to first Sub, now 30 mins have passed

    Now give yourself 15 mins to inspect the sub, and a couple of mins to ride it, now 47 mins have gone.

    You have just left the first sub 3 mins before the second rider starts his bike, you now have 5hrs 13 mins to complete the other 35

    So there nobody to blame but yourself.

    You are to blame "it a mind game"

    Who said i was in A class and who said i spent 3/4 of an hour looking at the first sub!!!!!? the reason i was out of time was because of A class riders clogging up sections which is what was being discussed, so therefore not my fault :wub:

  3. I say again Sir, as no1 suggested "B" class start frist at Zone one, followed by the "A" class.

    The 5hr time limit is a fair allowance but put the 2hr limit on the first lap, as per Adults.

    If you require a Professionals oppinion ask John Lapkin what he thinks about the 5hr limit.

    Use the 2hr window for walking and Inspection of Zones as (EUM rules) prior to the commencment of each event, but not for riding as the British Adult Championship.

    This Club and the C of C put on a First Class Event, if I should offer one small point each zone should be possible in 90sec.

    The first zone was not attempted by a single rider in the first 50mins, the observer repetedly invited the riders to start he has not right to order riders in as there is the overall time.

    Should a rider wish to take a five if he is not happy with the serverity of the zone or the minder suggests to the rider take a five to improve his loss of marks, so be it.

    I will also say again times cant be changed by ANYBODY after the trial has started.

    Each section must be atempted in the correct order and riders must start at the same section.

    YMSA trials are not the issue, YMSA trials start as bees and swarm away from the start to various zone, as per YMSA rules.

    i have never been to a national before where the B class riders had to do a full lap in that order, why did the club not allow us to do half a lap and then complete 2 full laps before having to do are last half lap, the planning of that area was very poor, A class riders are renound for taking too much time and i lost 35mins waiting at the start of a section, and the people behind me lost even more as the older riders pushed in front of them. i also had to take fives and was still excluded even though the girl that signed me off said i had 5mins left, the fact that the person who handed me my last card said i had a 6 hour time limit is what has frustrated me the most, i had ridden the last part of the trial believing i had some free time to relax before the sections when i had no such time at all,C*** <_<

  4. my bike seems to be fine and revs cleanly up until the point where it should peak and then it fluffs and has to be cleared out before it will peak.

    do you now how to solve this :D , i've heard that the exhaust port in the barrel isn't large enough is this true also.

  5. It's off the B6265 Pateley Bridge to Ripon Road. We go up the A1 to the Boroughbridge Exit and follow the Ripon signs,(takes you up alongside and then back over the A1). Then pick up the Pateley Bridge Signs which take you around Ripon Town Centre.

    From Bradford You'll probably be best heading to Pateley Bridge Via Blubberhouses. Take the Road to Greenhow and turn right towards Pateley Bridge. Go thru P'bridge and follow signs for Harrogate until you come to Glasshouses where you turn left on the B6265. Fellbeck is on the left about 2 miles down the road. I've linked to Multimap to give you a better idea.

    Fellbeck

  6. The reason Doug had only one person challenging him at a time is because compared to the other riders he was miles in front and there has only been one or two riders close to his standard, Tarres (from what i've heard) only beat his competitors because of his mental strenght + determination, not essentially because he had more skill etc than the other riders witch doug had. Doug also has alot of mental strength but also he had a higher level of riding than the others.
