June 27, 200422 yr Dont think that he will have got home and had his tea yet!! He's probably charging up his calculator.
June 28, 200422 yr No results on the web page yet. Quite funny thing happened when I went to check though. I wasn't sure if the web site was a .com or .co.uk. I went for the .com option first and was surprised at what I found! www.bamcc.co.uk www.bamcc.com
June 28, 200422 yr Gary The results are now on the front page. Sorry for the delay but I didn't get it finished last night until late and then couldn't update the site due to dial up problems. Boof. I've been dealing with the Bay Area Club girls since setting up the site and they are going to put a link in there for me. At least it is a bike club and not what it first appears to be.
June 28, 200422 yr How did you guys enjoy it. I'm open to any comments good or bad to try and improve things for next time.
June 28, 200422 yr Getting off the subject a wee bit. what are the championship standings at the moment. Did Martin Crosswaite get the 20 at the pollock? Thought the venue was really good, but one or two of the sections could have been a bit harder, after all it is a Adult Championship. Really enjoyed my day though! Thanks Gary Edited June 28, 200422 yr by Scottie
June 28, 200422 yr Gary As I said to folks at the trial it was set out thinking it would be wet and as you can imagine that would have made a big difference. I think your right though having seen many sections cleaned where I thought marks would be lost I'd stiffen it up a good bit for next time. As you said yesterday there is certainly room for some really big sections on the ground. Fancy helping out organising a british round there in the future?
June 28, 200422 yr Thought the B route was spot on, although there was some low scores in the top ten many of the riders seem to be Non Expert's. I've riden there on a wet day and, like many venues, it can be a totally differant trial. Good day out, thanks to all. Techno, thats 2-1 to me know I believe? With a marks dropped differance of 22 in my favour! Loser!
June 28, 200422 yr My dad is already working on this years British. Getting permission from all the landowners and then the SSSI come along and check that your not near any areas important to them. You should hear the complaints from down south about the distance travelling to Kinloch, (I travel these distances all the time). For some of the riders it would be another 3hrs drive to Huntly. The only time we can have a British round here is either early in the year or later because of the midges. Most of the rounds are in England (West of England is the farthest) and there are usually two in Wales, funnilly enough there wasn't one in Ireland this year. Must be because of the world round. I'll find out more and let you know. Gary
June 28, 200422 yr Gary I wonder whether you would have had such a good score if you cot caught out in the rain shower later on??? Excellent trial thouh!
June 28, 200422 yr I would hope so! Remember I live in the wettest part of Scotland, thats why they built a dam here. Trying to win the trial yesterday involved a lot of concentration (something which I received some help with), because second and third places were very close. I am always really nervous before any trial (cant eat etc)and it takes me a while to settle down. But I still think I would have finished on a clean sheet, or ma dad would have made me walk home!!! Gary
June 28, 200422 yr And how far would you have had to walk back home Gary? Win or walk. Maybe that is a tactic I should try? Edited June 28, 200422 yr by City Trials
June 28, 200422 yr Probably a three hour drive. Dont know if you know Adrian and Mandy Lewisport.usa but They have just travelled 6700 miles to three different trials, and I moan!! Gary
June 28, 200422 yr Gary Excellent performance by yourself. I was surprised how quickly you rode the trial - normally the Experts on the A route are the last to finish! Perhaps your experience and knowledge of torrential rain gleaned from years in the wild west gave you extra impetus to finish sharp, given that rain was impending all day! Perhaps next time we give you a P65 bike or twinshock to even things up!
June 28, 200422 yr Good Trial right until the rain came on wasn't quite so funny then !! A small selection of pictures have been put in the gallery. For the full gallery Click Here If anyone is missing and would like to see themself e-mail me and I will see what I have. If you haven't seen the results then unless you are this guy you didn't win !!
