October 4, 200421 yr Author Do you know Gordon I think that was a real highlight. It could be the first trial in 10 years I've not got a 5 on. Long may it last.
October 4, 200421 yr Yes hopefully it will - but then there will be no pressure at the next trial and thats when you start making the silly mistakes that count. I heard about the water tainting problem - lets hope that nothing comes of it - it will be a shame to lose that bit of ground.
October 4, 200421 yr Crackin trial although I could have done a wee bit better. My thanks to all at the IDMCC for putting on a great trial and all in all a good day out. Many thanks to all the observers too
October 5, 200421 yr yes well were leting them borrow the title for a while but loosing out by so little shows the standard of the inverness youth if they ride there all the time on the same sections i was told and that was 3 of our teams first outing thereso our standard of riding has to be better if they beat us only by a few points on there own home ground but if lochaber brought up an adult team with gary macdonald and roger mount included i dont think anyone would stand a chance

I won't even go in to your grammer!
October 6, 200421 yr Well with all the good things being said about the trial and how got what, are there any results in as it is near the end of the week and still zip !!
October 6, 200421 yr are there any results in as it is near the end of the week and still zip !! Wednesday today and the middle of the week in my book. All the scores are counted again, double checked then databased. I also have a wife, 2 children and a full time job which at the moment is hectic. Patience is a virtue. D.
October 7, 200421 yr While all you guys were in bonny Scotland I was landing on my head and backside at a British Round. This particular round was harder than the world championships I've been in. When Graham was on the podium he mentioned that he doesn't normally loose this amount in a WC (not a toilet). That is my reason for not being there, plus I didn't know it was on! Can't speak for the rest of the Lochaber boys but I am surprised that we didn't have a couple of adult teams in. Hope to see you all at our BC this weekend? Gary
October 9, 200421 yr That is my reason for not being there, plus I didn't know it was on! Can't speak for the rest of the Lochaber boys but I am surprised that we didn't have a couple of adult teams in. Presumably they were all out beavering away on their British Championship Trial course?. Or maybe they didn't know the team trial was on either?. Or maybe they thought that after another Lochaber man winning the Scottish Adult Championship they'd stay away to let Inverness get the consolation of winning the team trial. And maybe the SACU should send out a fixture list with each competition licence so riders know what's on and when?. Edited October 9, 200421 yr by trialscot
October 9, 200421 yr For those who don't look at the front page too often, I've just put a photo feature article up.
October 11, 200421 yr Or maybe they didn't know the team trial was on either?. Wind up time again is it? Team Trial was advertised on Lochabers own website, also a few sets of regs were sent to Mags. Plus the calendar. What more can I do? D
October 13, 200421 yr As manager of the L.d.m.cc I would just like to point out that we dont (didnt) all share TECHNOS point of view as no one has a divine right to win. The Inverness youth were exceptional on the day as were Lochaber but the best team shaded it (8marks) so very well done to them. What does bother me is the Implication that I some how poached I quote :- one of their best riders, Iasked Andrew if he was riding in the event at the Grace Dignan and hed heard nothing. Ten days before Alvie I again phoned Andrew and hed still heard nothing and as Lochaber is short of A class schoolboys asked if he would ride as a guest If as it seems ,this was a problem why wasnt I contacted in my role as team manager. I assumed ,wrongly it seems, that the youngster would be better riding for us as a friend of my sons than possibly not riding at all. Again well done lads, and well done to Andrew best individual youth score on the day . The lack of Lochaber teams has been highlighted and Im sure well be back with a bang at a cracking trial next year!! Ill phone Gaz myself to make sure he knows!
October 13, 200421 yr What does bother me is the Implication that I some how poached I quote :- one of their best riders, Nothing implied nor offence intended. Tongue in cheek, and in the best possible taste (as Kenny Everett once said) Im sure well be back with a bang at a cracking trial next year!! Looking forward to it. D.
October 14, 200421 yr Sound Dave, hope the championship round at Alvie is as good and as well organised
