Feel free to come along, it starts at 10.30 but I'll be there from about 10.00 . I'll keep an eye out for you , I'll be going there in my mates navy coloured Escort van with 2 bike trailer. There should be some B.A.M.C.C signs and wee orange flags to follow on the roads nearby.

There was a dusting of snow overnight on top of the little that was left. I don't think it'll be warm enough today to shift it today. It'll probably just make conditions pretty wet for you.

Thinfourth its just a club trial and there's another one on at Stirling so not sure if there will be a huge turnout, I'm hoping there will be at least the minimum entry of riders in my class so that there will be championship points up for grabs.
Hendeg cheers for the update, just as well I fitted a new rear tyre last week .
Stewart , I thought it was about time I changed the 135 username and LotusLee seems to be a nickname I have been stuck with from a couple of folk.

Looks like you'll need that new tyre. The snow has gone but it's very wet and windy this morning. Good luck.

Ah well , the rain is nothing to us we're out in all weather

The trial is going ahead and the stirling one has been cancelled so hopefully a good turn-out. Just about to leave maybe see you there.

Hi Thinforth, so what did you think of the trial? Sections 2-8 the muddy hillclimbs were pretty impossible even with 2psi in the rear tyre but 9-15 were decent technical sections through rocks with a couple of good rock-steps. Sadly I had to retire when the bike conked out after section 15

not sure what went wrong ,I had been getting electric shocks every time I hit the kill switch before it cut out so binned the switch and tried a new spark plug but still no spark and had to push it back to the car park.
I'm not too bothered about not finishing as thats the only problem I've had in the 14 trials I've done since the end of August although more pressure now as my mate will have jumped ahead of me with championship points .
Did you get any decent pics ?
cheers
