Lumb Waterfall near Cowling was the venue for Yorkshire Classic’s 6th Championship trial and Clerks of Course, Dale Harrison and Andrew Scott had made good use of the rock-filled stream running along the valley with 7 sections taking marks from all the 40 riders taking part except eventual winner, John Maxfield.
On the eased Clubman course, winner Steve Thomas lost his only mark on the difficult Section 4.
