had a good Ilkley Trial...even if somewhat handicapped by a general tyre pressure limit of 15psi....even for me in class 4....the results may well have been different if I had blagged a few less psi's at the appropriate times.....very wet trial..lots of grass to spin wheels on....pity we had to run the same pressures as class 7 and 8..
hilite of our day (with wife and 7 year old son as ballast) was a rousing clean of Watergate..(the Scapheap challenge hill).....nodoubt inspired by Robin Preedy's efforts as he was immediately in front......not many cleaned this hill, a lot getting to the 1 board but no quite conquering the twist in the tail left hander.....came away with a score of 103...again a reasonable score in the circumstances....
since there were only 2 of us in class 4....there were no class awards....pity we weren't amalgamated into other classes....???
also...no breakages.....either I'm getting old and soft-footed..or the Rapid is getting stronger??
nice (free) pork pie 'n pea's supper at the end...very welcome in view of the wetness....thank you Ilkley Club.....
