Wilderley BMCA trial today and after the rain yesterday the going was quite muddy but suprisingly grippy.
Nigel Houlston put on a good trial today with good use of the ground and the hard route certainly gave a few challenges to the field.
I can honestly say that the bike was fantastic and didn't miss a beat all day and I think I rode well, certainly after a first lap mishap.
The result doesn't quite paint the whole picture of the day as I lost 5 or my 9 marks for going the wrong way on section 3 on the first lap, therefore I actually rode the trial for 4 marks which I was happy with.
STOP PRESS - after posting this last night, the results showed that I had finished 2nd, however later on I received a 2nd set of revised results as there has been a counting error on the 1st set and I found that I had won the trial. The resvised results are shown below;

Hi Dave,
How did you and the other lads do in the team trial yesterday?
Who ended up riding in the end?

Bully, I didn't ride in the end as I had some family duties that I wasn't brave enough to get out of!
Dad went and by all accounts it was a really hard trial but the BMCA guys rode really well.
If the stories coming through are correct then it seems like Alan Nicklin may have won it which is fantastic. Alan was on 16 and the reports coming in suggest that the big guns were all having 5's so it will be interesting to see the results on Thursday in the paper.
see you Sunday
Dave
