I'd like to thank the Golden Valley team and their observers for the excellent March Hare yesterday.A massive amount of work has been put in,which isn't over yet.The number of fallen trees they had to clear was way beyond the amount of work they would have expected to do.

At times it rained so hard it was difficult to see where you were going - that's my excuse for apparently missing 2 sections... But that was my fault,nobody else to blame for that.

Running a road trial involves a massive amount of paperwork and organisation with various official bodies,many of whom aren't very helpful or see any sense of urgency.Then all the landowners have to be dealt with,including those who own the tracks in between the section groups.

So spare a thought for those who made it happen,its a great undertaking compared to the single venue club trials I run,and often that takes more time and effort than I would like.

Hello

Sorry for being thick, but what exactly is a "March Hare"?

Could someone enlighten me please.

Thanks

Depends which answer you are after.Look here for the Wiki answer; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_as_a_March_hare

Or in terms of the actual trial,its an event put on by the Golden Valley club early in March which is approx 40 miles in length taking in many very old sections in beautiful Cotswold countryside - all aimed at the use of classic bikes.

Its a brilliant day out.

Honda TLR 200, I entered last year but didn't ride due to injured shoulder.

Excellent choice Andy,I'll be off early as rigids get sent off first.Hopefully I'll do better than last year as I had the early stages of bronchitis,shouldnt have been riding really...

Catch up with you fer a natter at the end ?
