December 3, 200718 yr Midland Classic Trial Bonsall Quarry, Bonsall Moor, Matlock Derbyshire. Neither gale force winds nor torrential rain deterred the competitors at the Midland Classic Trials Club event at Bonsall Quarry near Matlock on Sunday. The venue had been doused by the incessant rain making the sections and trails exceedingly slimy and treacherous. Some riders even claiming to have lost marks due to the gales blowing them off course. However the organisers excelled in tailoring the 8 sections ridden 5 times to suit the prevailing conditions and a good days sport was enjoyed by the 22 riders attending. No one remained clean but the winners of both routes, Rob Turner and Barrie Rodgers, lost 2 marks a piece so the severity must have been just about right. The Club would like to thank the course setters, observers and riders for their support at this Trial and all year. All in all a good trial under difficult circumstances enjoyed by all. The club would also like to extend Christmas greetings and a reminder to all members to attend the Christmas Party and presentation at the Royal Oak, Ockbrook, Derbyshire on the 11th December.
