ksv Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Coming down from uni on sunday to ride rookhope trial, just wondered who else was going? In my opinion this is the best trial in the North East centre, well for the expert course anyway, lots of big steps, natural streams and the waterfall of course. Also bollihope(next week) and harthope are good. What's your favourite north east trial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windlestone Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Can't see Mickley Junction up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksv Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Thats because the only rocks at Mickley Junction are the ones that get brought there stuck in between the nobbles of your tyres! I would definetly put it in my worst list of North East trials. By the way, Rookhope is still the best trial, even though the waterfall was a bit too easy this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windlestone Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I wasn't at Rookhope. been riding for about 1 year after a 15 year break. i was stopped on the moor riding up to the road at the Weardale Sunday trial, a couple of months back, in between section 9 and 10 i was knackered and you stopped to see if i was ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksv Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 oh yeah, remember that. so why you stop riding then? job? i'm not getting as much riding in as i would like since i started university and will probably get even less in when i start work. going to bollihope trial on sunday? i recommend it!

windlestone Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 (edited) stopped riding because of job and wife. Changed both now I played a lot of rugby too. Iam going to Bollihope on Sunday hopefully i'll see you there! Are you going to ride a few more nationals? your'e certainly good enough I've just moved to Durham too. is there anywhere decent to practice? I've been to go kart track at Houghton. That was like Mickley Junction compared to Back Cwm Edited October 7, 2004 by windlestone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
