3 Jours En Indre

[hrc1]

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 classes too.

A few pics I grabbed are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/motomerlin/3JoursTrialEnIndre07 mainly from that last section.
