Back cowm quarry was the venue for the first trial of the year for the Rochdale club, with 80 riders it was a good turn out, with riders once again traveling considerable distances to ride. Section one observed by Neil Anderton was a tricky one for the hard route boys with only Andy Cripps and Jack Price Brad and Dec Bullock cleaning on the first lap Julian Ingham had a five here as did Richard Anderton. It was the youngsters who lead the way on the day with all three youth expert riders taking first second and third overall, Jack Price was in a league of his own dropping only 10 in total then it was the Bullock brothers with Brad on 20 and Dec on 22. In the adult class Andy Cripps got the win losing 27 in total a long way in front of second place man Julian Ingham who finished on a grand total of 66 marks lost third went to Paul Heyes on 76. In the inters Russell Carter is proving to be a hard man to beat and went around for a loss of just 22 marks second place was David Cocker 35, one ride to mention was Curtis Fitzsimmons who rode in the A class he dropped 31 in total this gave him second overall on the green route course with only Carter besting him. In the novice class Adam Mcanna was top dog on 30 with Ben Wright in second place on 43 in total, Ben had Machine problems early on he was helped out by Dave Ketteringham  and was soon back on track, Joe Hiley was top  B class rider losing 89 in total followed in by Alex Yiatrou on 116 in total. The over 40 class went to Marl Grimshaw on his Montesa losing 24 second was Danny Ralph’s who dropped down from the inters finishing on 26, the over 50 class went to Mike Leddy and the youth beginners was won by local lad Sam Blackburn. Unfortunately section 4 had to dropped from the results as the observers sheet blow away in the high winds and no matter how we searched it was never to be seen again.

Thanks to all helpers and organizers

Merry Christmas – Hope you all had a good trial
