6th may Rileys Railway Corrected Results now on results page. sorry for mix up
“Butt where did he come from?”
With a couple of alternative trials in close proximity the Loughborough and District MCC trial on Sunday 6th May attracted a smaller than normal entry but the positive was that those who attended got to ride 6 laps of the 8 fully observed sections at the outstanding Rileys Railway venue.
The trial was as always set out to suit the clubman rider who wants to enjoy a days sport without fear of ending up in the local A&E but there was enough to challenge the top riders on the Hard and 50/50 routes.
The middle route was a titanic battle between regular contender Tim Gent and the returning Andy Butt, a welcome face who has been missing from the scene for some time. These two tied on 6 marks and could not be separated on most cleans so were awarded joint winners. Fast improving youth Daniel Slack took 3rd just 1 mark behind while further down the order Robert Mycock took the battle of the twin shocks (or should that be the Bultaco cup?).
The hard route was a clear victory for Sam Gent over Glenn Lewis who just pipped Oliver Wareing for second on most cleans. Kieran Radley was best of the Inters with Matt Dixon top youth. Pete Jones took the 50/50 honours from Fantic T/S mounted Bob Gent who had 1 more clean to hold off youth Tim Saunders. The easy route was a clear victory for John Lawrence from Roy Fuller.
Once again a well organised enjoyable event, the club continues its run of club events through the Summer months but is now starting to focus on the rearranged Susan Harris memorial trial which had to be cancelled in February and is now planned for 19th August. More details will be available shortly.
The Susan Harris memorial Trial,
which will be to honor the memory of Susan (pictured below) who unfortunately lost her long battle with cancer in Feb 2011.
All proceeds from the trial will be going to breakthrough breast cancer.
There will be awards for all routes and a burger van will be on site .
Many of you knew Susan (and may of well been given a 5 by her!) so please support this very worthy cause by entering and telling all your friends about this event.
Susan as we all remember her.
Loughborough and District MCC - Who are we?
Loughborough and District MCC is a small Motorcycle Club who organise motorcycle trials in the main for Clubmen and Novice riders. L&D MCC run 3 routes at their events to cater for Expert level centre riders through to raw novices out for the first time. The club prides itself on Value for Money with in 2010 £10 entry, no club fees and often 5 (or more) laps of 8 or 10 sections. There is also discount entry for anyone who provides an observer. The club focuses on 2 excellent venues near to the village of Tilton-on-the-Hill in Leicestershire (Vickers and Riley's farms) but is always on the lookout for new venues so if you can help please contact Richard. There is a small group of volunteers who set out the sections on the Saturday before each trial and again any help would be appreciated, please contact Richard if you would like to try your hand under some expert guidance.
The club is a member of the East Midland Centre of the Auto Cycle Union (ACU) and besides having a laid back approach to events to make everyone feel welcome they have in the past held training sessions with former World Number 2 Steve Saunders.
All of the helpers involved with Loughborough and District MCC are volunteers and all they would like to see is the efforts they put in rewarded with sufficient entries to make the sacrifice of time worthwhile - please support this friendly club as a rider or helper.
