Results came in the post today... A shame that they don't seem to reflect what happened on the day,and talking to other riders it seems I'm not alone.Were it not for the banter and excellent array of bikes there on the day, I'm not sure I'd bother again.Compared to trials like the March Hare and the West of England Vic Ashford its not really in the same league.

I Cant believe that i,ve been riding the Talmag now for 28 years and the only time i ever loose control, they get it on film! I foolishly attacked Hungry Hill in 2nd,cos its more fun,and found a tad more grip than i bargained for! I always dreamed off getting my pic in TMX [as have millions off others] and am so glad when i finally did,they captured my best angle! i thought it was a 2 ,a mate watching said 1,but i got the dreaded Talmag 5 !At least i beat Mr Higgs for the 1st time who apparently missed section 1, which i thought would have been pretty impossible?considering it was only 30 yards from the start in a straight line! On the subject off severity,last years course was too hard,this year it was too easy.They need to find a middle ground! As always its weather dependent off course,but thats down to experience and keeping an eye on the forecast i suppose.Saying all that i really enjoyed this years event,it really is just a massive social really for me,seeing lots off people and bikes i only see at the Talmag once a year!See you all next year.
