Most clubs would have struggled trying to find decent sections
out of such a flat piece of land. great 4 wobblers!
This is always going to be a problem for the double 5 club.
Every year we ride at Ridley and know that its going to
be much similar to the previous trial, but that's not a bad
thing. It does manage to give us 1 or 2 tricky sections but!
Unfortunately they are mostly bastard tight rooty bash your
ankle ones, which does peeve off most of the inters and experts.
Few casualties on the day, Donna Seager managed to bash
her leg and was last seen leg in the air lying in the back of
her van. Gary the cripple or Raspberry as i call him wacked
his foot and is still hoberling to this day, im sure its just
an old reocuring shrapnel wound from WW2.
I was strugerling all day and was not to impressed by the
lack of space to get over some of the roots, with the lack of
grip and slippery roots at dangerous angles I was mostly riding
up to marshals and just asking for fives. Mr Routs was a no
go most riders didn't even bother to ride it. Other then that
it was an ok trial.
The Mote brothers were riding well which makes a change,
they were well and truly wooping my arse which was most frustrating,
im gonna have to give up them 20 pints the night before me thinks!
The middle box blew its self apart 3 sections from the
end so I just gave up and went back to the van feeling sorry
for myself. Well after the day I had I was in no mood, first
thing round Garys I managed to reverse the van down a 3 foot
hole and damage the back end of the van, then GR had to tow
me out.
Hope my boss don't read this I told him I did it Monday
morning on Wimbledon common…oooopps!
Thanks to Stuart for welding the aforementioned box cheers
mate. Stuarts the one who I think well and truly beat all you
novices and ended up on zilch so it wont be long before he's
riding blues.
Don't want to buy a scorpa do ya Stu?
1 careful owner been well looked after. Just don't read
any of my write-ups. I always end up doing a damage report and
its normally pretty BAD!!
Na that scorpas fine plenty of life left in it,
Just not on this planet.
Come on September!!!!!
Thanks to all the double 5 and the Marshals
Anyway im outa here see you at the next event where Cliffs
going to write a report we can all understand!
See ya. Chow.
