scorpa3 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Trial set out... 12 sections with three routes, one or two 'Not for the faint hearted' sections this time. Lets just hope there are enough people who can supply an Observer in return for a free ride! Signing on closes at 10am, the venue will be signposted from the top of Fish Hill nerar Broadway on the A44. Hope to see you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the addict Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Big thanks to Pete all observers and helpers today for a great Trial, and well done for having the courage to set it out harder than normal club events. Me and Ralph really enjoyed it although we did drop quite a few. Nice to see Sam Haslam and Jack Lee there, had abit of banter with them both and I am sure Sam copied a couple of my lines but not the big off I had on the very slippy cambered log on section 1. Nice and long sections all of which where very open and could have been ridden pretty much without any trick riding. Section 12 was the hardest a nasty turned steep climb over a huge 45 degree root with a steep climb out, managed a three on the first lap, Geoff Capes on the second and bottled it on the third lap Good entry as well must have been 50 plus and did nt notice much in the way of queing either. Definatley be doing more Stratford Trials in the future if this is how they are set out and organised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Yep well done to all, some A#se twitchers, some tight and some nice drop offs. I dropped loads more than i should have but had a very enjoyable day, will be coming again. Had to have a word with 2 lads a Sam Bloke and a Jack lad who followed me and Just all day asking for advice and what gear you doing this in but we managed to loose them on the last lap so they probably stuggled abit, i think we just piped them. Great day see ya next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) I know Ralph, could nt shake them off for the first two laps, Sam and Jack to be fair probably thought why do those two bother went round with a Scottish Guy first lap good rider but did nt catch his name? hope to meet up again mate. Yer 6 a*** twitchers out of the 12 sections, two of which were abit beyond me to be fair but great trial considering a limited area to work in.

scorpa3 Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks for the positive comments, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the day. Saintbury is always a good place for a trial as it's not affected by rain like our other venues, so we took the risk and set out 12 sections and luckily managed to get the observers, which is nice for a change. Good job too as 67 riders doing four laps of ten would have caused a lot of queuing. Justin, everytime I watched you in a section you were making it look easy. I will place the results on here as soon as I've done them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
