Not such a great weekend last week. I helped to put on the BMCA trial at Ombersley and we felt that we had marked a good trial out with some good use of the banks, cambers and roots at the venue.
The trial started well with a solid dab on section 1 after seeing Steve Hay take a 3, however finding neutral on section 2 when I attempted to change from 2nd to 1st after the initial steep entrance to the section left me with a 2. Still more was to go wrong when I got hung up on a root in section 3 leaving me in the wrong place for the steep climb at the end of the section and a 5 was on the card..
The rest of the lap went without further loss, however when I again misjudged the climb in section 3 on the second lap and had to bail out. Unfortunately I twisted my knee on landing and had to run back down the bank causing further aggrevation to the knee that I recently had the operation on.
This meant an early bath and a spot of observing. I am now sat here 1 week later and still have some swelling so I have decided to take a couple of weeks off to give it a chance to settle down.
