May 6, 201511 yr Seems harsh to lose a valuable chunk of time for something totally outwith your own control. If that is the case then maybes the club will look into it and factor in an allowance, given that a lot of the entry lost quite a bit of time. Some of the clubmen were outwith the 60mins allowance so will now be riding for no award, that's got to be a downer so early in the week. SSDT is a time and observation trial, those who made it on time showed it could be done and should not be penalized for doing so. Tue is renowned for being tough and tight on time, I knew it the times I rode and so do the top riders.
May 6, 201511 yr Seems harsh to lose a valuable chunk of time for something totally outwith your own control. If that is the case then maybes the club will look into it and factor in an allowance. They already do.....ideally they'd put officials on every swing bridge on the route so that it could be given proper delay rather than having to factor in a what-if figure, but there are so few volunteers these days it's a struggle to man the sections and the garage, never mind the other niceties. If any of you fancy standing out at a swing bridge in the middle of nowhere for nine hours on the off-chance that it might be opened when there are riders approaching, please just let the club know - I know they'd be delighted to have you on board!
May 6, 201511 yr Author Got a link there JB? Dunno how to link it, if you search 'Trials Classifieds' page in FB, it's on there
May 6, 201511 yr He he, fair comments Mairi and Ishy, didn't think about the fact that those potential delays were already factored in. Tough day then for some top names, must have been fun for the clubmen trying to hurry across Clunes moor to limit their losses. Throws the trial wide open now. Craig

May 6, 201511 yr Author Great zero score day for Doug today, now all the section results are in Will he tighten his grip tomorrow? Great rides from James Fry/Richard Sadler/Dibs and Gary Mc too T&MX's story http://www.tmxnews.co.uk/news/latest-news-s3/SSDT-update-Day-three-i9774 Edited May 7, 201511 yr by johnnyboxer
May 7, 201511 yr Is there any place to see a list of what bikes the riders are riding See attached. Final Start List.pdf
May 7, 201511 yr Looking at the rolling scores on the SSDT web site, it looks like Dougie Lampkin has had another cracking day! Anybody out there got any news for us poor old web followers who couldn't get time off work?
May 7, 201511 yr Wow, DL on 0, Dabill on 1 and Billy Bolt on a 2 for the day! 3 sections still to be tallied.
May 7, 201511 yr Looking at the results so far, It looks like most riders were in double digits. So a zero, 1 and 2 looks fantastic. And Billy Bolt was on a 125..!
May 8, 201511 yr Here is a question that can only be asked by somebody who is VERY bored on a Friday afternoon. How can the results that are scrolling on the SSDT web site give a score of 24 marks lost when only 5 sections have been entered so far? There is also a score of 28 showing for one rider. I thought the time penalties etc. were only added at the end of the day. so surely the max score is 25 (5 x Fives) or then 23 (4 x Fives + 1 x Three). I know that by the final scores tonight it will be sorted out. But I said I was bored and just noticed it. Edited May 8, 201511 yr by kmac
May 8, 201511 yr Maybe picked up a 5 for not being able to start the bike within the given minute at the Parc Ferme. Think that's normally shown in column 32.
