August 14, 200521 yr Just a quick note to say well done to the NE Youth Team (Lewis Peart, Dale Robson, Joe McMeekin, James Brooke and John Battensby) on Saturday after riding a trial that would have seen many a good adult rider retiring due to driving rain through the night and the duration of the trial which meant that 5s were the order of the day. With A and B class sharing the same route we were always on the back foot fielding 3 B class riders. I think it would be fair to say our lads struggled with the A and B route although the C route was about right. However, despite running right up to the time limit (which was extended by 1 hour and 3 sections being cancelled on the 2nd lap) the lads attempted every single section. Thanks also to the dads (minders) soaked to the skin by the time they reached the first section - so were the riders. Lastly to our TWO observers Debbie Peart and Clair Robson who stood in the rain for 7 hours - yes, I think we had the only section with 2 observers and consequently no queueing - other centres please take note. Nigel Robson.
