Well, after a frustrating summer with only a couple of days riding – because of Fires etc – We finally made up for it with a day to remember. – Mike picked me up at 8.30 Sunday morning, and we headed to Summerland. – I wanted to show him another part of the great Outlaw loop which had too much snow last time we were there a year ago!! Yes it’s been that long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather could not have been better, with clear skies and bright sunshine as we headed out, Mike on his Factory Beta and me on the TRS Xtrack. – We took time to stop and enjoy the scenery, all very quiet except for the sound of a few birds, we had the whole Mountain to ourselves, and did not see another soul all day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual the bikes worked perfectly and I was pleased to “Clean” the one long steep hillclimb, that ends with a log hop. – I did have the Go Pro on , so hope that turns out OK. – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first did this loop, back in 1987 with Ted Pepperdine – and fell in love with the area, which became the home of the Outlaw Trial for over twenty years. – It was nice to point out all the various trails to Mike, and sections from the past, many now all overgrown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

===========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FIM World Trials series is now over, with British riders claiming three titles – George Hemingway (Beta) 125 class – Jack Peace (Sherco) Trial 2 and Emma Bristow (Sherco) – a 10th and final title as she heads into retirement. Brilliant performances by all. – Of course we don’t have to tell you who won the top class – the amazing Toni Bou (Honda)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the last quiz – a shot I took of Steve Saunders ( Fantic) on Witch’s burn at the 1989 Scottish. – Brett and Bob got it correct, and a few others recognized Steve – including Jack McKinnon from Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – a modern pic – but who is this TRS rider?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

===============================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Traver’s Trophy Trial ran yesterday in pouring rain – but as usual Neil Sturgeon was out taking brilliant shots – here is one to an unidentified rider. – I think Richard Sadler (Vertigo) won again. – This event is always well attended, using a long loop with natural sections, in the North of England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
