rabie Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Ride the easyest of easy routes, and very very slowly working my way up from the bottom of the results list. And enjoying every minute ahh - i lack the latter (ridding in events) - hence I'm still at the bottom rabie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Marky, Your dead right about the different standards across centres. The clubman route at last years crackpot trial was the hardest section trial I've rode including Nationals. You'll be fine with the Expert course in EYC, just be careful with that paintwork. Does that also mean Hutchy is going to step up a class? We all know he's capable of it. CK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 The clubman route at last years crackpot trial was the hardest section trial I've rode including Nationals. Problem was I kept making the hard route more difficult & then hard course lads made the clubman route harder. Expect the same this year.

cota kid Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Don't get me wrong although it was a very hard trial the satisfaction of finishing made it well worth it. Having rode it once I know now what to expect next time. See if I can get more than 1 clean. And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. ( I'm not sure what that actually means) CK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 See if I can get more than 1 clean. Was that Jimmy Jardines section? Bugger changed it & made it too easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky boy Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Well i enjoyed it , cracking (pun) trial !!! CK. Hutch has lost his bottle , the above trial didnt help him. He is going to stay in the EYC and potter round the old lads route !! Like he says ' if you dont enjoy it , what is the point!!' Speaking of classes , i see that you have been on the TOGS course the last few trials!! What are you up to??] Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Perce, I had slack dabs on Jim Jardine's section but it was number 1 I cleaned. Marky, As you are aware I have deserted Montesa for Sherco. Scarborough I rode B as it was the first time out. Old excuse of running it in. At Helwith Beck I didn't really fancy the gully and big step, excuse of being a Sh*thouse. To avoid any further stick I will be resuming riding Clubman A or Green course. Someone needs to prop up the result tables. CK PS Whats the TOGS course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Can someone let me know how many courses there are at the usual Scarborough trials. Which courses do Experts, Inters, Clubman A ride. Is inters higher than clubman A in these trials? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky boy Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Expert } Inter } All ride the hard course , every section. Youth A } Clubman A } Youth B } Both ride a mix, usually 50/50 of hard/easy Clubman B } Youth C } O40 } Ride all the easy sections Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Thanks Marky. I was hoping you were going to say Clubman A rode the hard route. I'll be torn now between Inter and Clubman A. I'm trying to avoid travelling a couple of hundred miles to ride the wrong route. I think I'll have to get there early and have a wander round before hand. I generally like the harder sections but I like to be able to walk afterwards I don't mind the marks totting up as long as I can still get to the next section. The only place I've overdone it is YMSA. The level there on the expert route surprised me totally. Excellent trials but got to know your limits. Cheers.

bigfoot Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I right the middle route. Because the hard route is to HARD and the EASY route is to easy.Gavin Bigfoot your lying you right the Easy route you a big girl. Blunderboy You think I'm lying and a big girl do you. Firstly I've ridden the hard route for a good number of years but have down graded for 2004 to the intermediates as the hard route was begining to hurt to much. How about we have a head to head at a Scotish trial of your choice. By the way it's ride not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
