26 riders attended the Pickling Yards for Round 1 of the 2023 championship. We all expected to get very wet, but in the end, we stayed mostly dry and had a great day’s sport. Thanks as always to Rey and Dave for setting out 10 sections that varied between grip-free clay and gravel with loads of traction.
