| DAVE GATENBY MEMORIAL TRIAL – 29 JUNE 2025 AT FISHLOCKS A beautiful scorching hot day greeted 22 riders for our annual Trial. Despite bone-dry conditions, there were still a few riders caught out. An over-heating front brake cost Mark Willis a few marks on easy sections. Congratulations to Elliott Laws, who took the Premier on most cleans on 2 marks. It was a very tight competition. Richard Pettler was also on 2 marks, but dabbed first. Chris Priestman, who was an hour late starting, managed to scrape in third place on 13. The best ride on the B course was Martin McGregor on 5, followed closely by Guy Chapman on 8, with Craig Hutchinson coming in at third on 13. Everyone enjoyed the spicy sausages, beer and soft drinks afterwards. Many thanks to Clerks of Course Greg, Leigh and Bob. And a special thank you to all the Observers who sweltered in the hot sun. |
