Thanks to all who helped organise our trial once again and to all the riders for taking part. The threatened rain did arrive around half way through and the marks lost on some second punchcards is plain to see – apart from the few who dashed around to reduce the effect on their scores!

The Mike Slatter Trial at the Pickling Yards in Mortimer on Sunday had a great turnout with a good mixture of Pre67, Twinshock and modern bikes. The sections were a good spread of dry and wet with some improving as the day went on and others digging out.

We had excellent support from the Observing team ( you know who you are!) , plus the Haines family, Chris and Jacqui. Also thanks to Englefield Estate for their ongoing support and Debs for bringing her catering truck!
