Rode today at Billingsley near Bewdley. The trial was laid out by Steve Thompson and the conditions made for a great trial that certainly spread the field out but gave everyone a really good test.
The sections were mainly based along a stream with muddy climbs and drops in and out of the water.
Overall I felt like I had a decent ride with few real mistakes and most of the marks lost I actually needed.
The hardest section (6 of my 17 marks) was section 7 which started in the stream over rocks then came out of the water round a fallen tree, dropped back into the water to go up a small waterfall then back out before a tricky drop across the stream to turn left up a couple of ruts to a steep muddy exit. I finally got it right on the last lap when it was possibly at it's hardest but by then 6 marks had slipped away.
I finished 4th overall and 3rd in the Unit 4 stroke class.
