Whitbread Trial - 8/5/22

A fine and sunny day greeted all the competitors for the latest Loughborough trial held at Vickers Farm.  Quite a few new faces appeared, along with some others that we hadn’t seen for some time.

The setting out team had set some challenging sections and only failed to take any marks from the winners of the Red Route, Billy Craig and on the White Route, Tony Bilton.  On the Red Route Sam Hill had an excellent ride into second place losing only seven marks.

Green Route winner was Greg Moor on three marks, just beating his riding partner Tony Jones by two marks.

The Yellow Route was closely contested with Pete Jones winning on two marks, just beating Steve Neale into second place on three with Andy Butt in third with four marks.

The Blue route was also close with Stephen Abbott winning on sixteen marks from Simon Hood on eighteen and Ian Breakwell on nineteen.

Tony Bilton kept his feet up all day on the White route with just single marks lost by the joint second place riders Jim Lawrence and Michael Smalley, only losing one mark and being unable to separate them on the tiebreaks.

Once again thanks to all of those riders who supported us today and to the course plotters and all the observers without whom the event could not run.

Our next event is on 12th June at Rileys Railway with entries opening on Tuesday 31 May.  All entries via the ACU website here
