EKTC Trial – Sunday 14th September

EKTC Combine Trial – Sunday 14th September

A lovely sunny day for trialling at the Wormshill venue. Good turnout of 37 riders, the lads at Sittingbourne did a good job cutting out various new areas of the wood. The trial was set quite tight due to the conditions and overall the scoring appeared to be quite low.

It was good to see Connor tackling the white route, its the right time for him to push on, especially as he is too much competition for some in the inter class. We were all hoping that the start of the 2014/15 club championship would see Pot Hunter Pete move up but he says he not quite ready for those heady heights and needs a growth spurt first.

The ground here is very similar to Stowting last week, after a few dry weeks the ground was very lose and became easier as the day went on but with a few sections on the flinty hills there were many chances to lose a few marks.

Overall it seemed everyone had a good day apart from Steve Haselden who decided to use his right foot to stop the back wheel instead of the kill switch. The accident could have been much worse but thankfully he was ok, just a damaged boot and new brake hose needed and he will be back to his best next time.

Results to be posted here soon

Big thanks to our friends at Sittingbourne for an excellent days trialling.

April – A big month for Tenterden!

April is a big month for the club, traditionally April sees us run our first of our own trials with Weald Non Expert on one of everybody’s favourite piece of ground Clay Hill, the mix of gullies and slippery banks makes for an excellent test of throttle control. The Weald non Expert takes place on the 20th of April and all help gratefully received as I’m sure the organizing team with Tony Mario Piles as Clerk of the Course, with help from Dave, Pete and Duncan and with Keith D as secretary would welcome as much help on the day as possible.

The week before, on the 13th, Barham host the East Kent Combine round at Grove House Farm and on the Tuesday before that,the 8th, the club have a curry evening at the Badsha Indian at the end of Tenterden High Street at 7.30pm, all members and friends welcome. (Please let Dave or Keith know if you will be attending so we can book approx numbers)
