Rather later than expected, here are the results for the Mike Slatter trial.

The event was arranged under the shadow of Storm Burt, but in the end, the event went well and we saw some great riding on a wet and slippery, but rideable course. We had to run a shortened course of 8 sections due to a lack of observers, so would appreciate a bit more support next time. To those who braved the elements to observe, run signing-on and mark the course, thankyou as ever! We couldn’t run without you.
