I can only refer you to my earlier posting
Sections certainly seemed trickier than last months (a few more tongues out with concentration).
Lovely venue and a great way to spend an afternoon.
Well done all.

You weren't wrong
So apart from Earthmover, Ferret and Spout there were some other old relics there too
One to keep Grizz guessing..
Moz's rigid Bantam
Fancy forks...or not.
Lycra boy to the rescue
Now there's a nice bike
And there's a cockup
Looks like you turned too early
Yep
, a rock had moved to just where I wanted to turn
Yep
I see that rock now.................no bother, your wheel would have gone over that tiny rock and with a bit of counterweight to your left&back would have given your rear wheel the grip to flick the rock back into the stream
OK Tim, it says Fantic on the tank.... what is it really ?
You haven't guessed yet
Can it be as simple as a Bantam with an intact rear subframe ?
Denbigh and Mold trial today, glorious weather, good turnout, seriously tough (for me!) course!
I only managed one clean all day, and lost 137 marks.
A couple of killer climbs, some very nadgery woodland, and an utter ba*tard of a section means I ache in lots of places now.
On the other hand, I did get a trophy. Seems I came third in their club championship last year.

Yes, it is, and it can be!
I'm really enjoying the challenge, although at times today I had to convince myself of that!

Excuse #237a
Mark/Earthmover on the other hand only dropped 3!!!
I thought it was only one, but I forgot I had a "2" on the second section as well as the single dab you saw.
Denise retired after a fairly spectacular off into a gully. She only has a bruised hand to show for it, but it shook her up pretty badly.
And after all the rushing about, her daughter's bus was an hour late!

Erm, shouldn't that read 29 Tim?

Wrexham club trial at Nant Ucha, Trevor yesterday. One of my favourite venues and a well used practice ground.
Lap 1 - 22, including two '5's, but a couple of 'cleans' as well.
Lap 2 - 18, managed to turn the '5's into '3's.
Lap 3 - 13, best lap of the day, even with a '5' in one section.
Lap 4 - 23, went to pot! Loss of concentration cost me a lot of silly marks, and another '5'.
76, but reasonably pleased.
Next time you're free Tim, I've some good sections for you.
