Rasher Moore EKTC Trial – Pilchers 9/8/20 Results & pics

A huge thank you to the Pilcher family for the use of their excellent land once again and how lovely to see so many of the family participating.

A great well laid out trial today courtesy of  Clerk of the Course Mike Hollyer and Dave Luck ably assisted my Pete S, Mike Nutbrown and Dunc, all well run under the ACU and Government Covid guidelines. Over 30 Tenterden and East Kent riders enjoyed the sunshine over 4 routes in and out of the gullies, across the tricky cambers, with a decent ride around  and across the land that possibly has never been drier. Some of the familiar sections were interspersed with some tricky new variations where marks were possible to lose easily, but a clean was more than achievable. Thankyou also to Mike for acting as secretary and to all those who helped tidy up after the event. We hope to have another Tenterden event in September- details to follow.

White Route (results were available at the end of the trial) -B Smith & R Nutbrown tied 15ml, M Nutbrown 25ml, K Francis 59 ml

Blue Route – J Allen 12ml, O Wilson 17ml, D Luck 32ml, P Hurry 48ml, M Wildman 57ml, A Saxton 53ml

Red Route – A King 10ml, N Hales 17ml, C Woods 53ml, T Nutbrown 67ml

‘Return to Trials Trial’ Rakins – 5th July – ‘Results’ & pics

An excellent trial today, well done to Clerk of the Course Dave, ably assisted by Keith, Kev and Mike, for setting out 10 excellent and varied sections that allowed everyone to have a great day and return to trials action safely. All a little different, but made easy with everybody following the guidelines which was great to see. It was very good to see so many out getting back into action, including a few who have been away from the sport for several years  who today made a welcome comeback – well done all. A few pictures below of some of the Tenterden riders.

‘Results’ as we said are more for info than actual awards, some riders just rode without scoring and enjoyed the day.
