75th Anniversary Trial – Results

Posted on by

Thanks to all the riders that took place in our special one route traditional anniversary trial.  The weather couldn’t have been worse but the true spirit of trialing prevailed. Our huge debt of gratitude is given to our selfless observers who stood out in those horrific conditions and to the Millen Family for the continued use of their land, in fact our first ever trial was on this ground so it was fitting that we celebrated our 75th year using the same piece. I hope you all enjoyed your book, anyone that would like a copy please contact Dave Luck and arrangements can be made to you a copy. 

Please find attached the results.

Please post any pictures you have to the club facebook page so we can capture as much of the events as possible, A massive thanks to the Millen family for the use of the excellent piece of land, a wood full of great streams and gullies that has been ridden by many over the last 75 years, but not for many years has it been so wet!! And in August??

Man of Kent Results

Please find below the link to the results from last Sundays trial.  We’re sorry that we reduced the trial to 3 laps but considering the heat we think it was the sensible decision, it must have been as no one complained ! 

Naturally I want to thank the whole team and when I read such negative posts from other clubs we feel blessed to have such a strong team that make our club thrive.

Our enormous thanks go to the Santer family for their continued support by letting us use their land. Mick (Clerk) & Mark Baldock, Dave Garner & Kev Collins for setting out the trial, Rodger and Jack Beck for all their Secretarial duties including doing the results after work yesterday and lastly to all the observers, some of which I press ganged on Sunday morning but you are all very kind and selfless. 

Don’t forget our anniversary trial on Sunday 8th August at the Clay Hill venue opposite Tenterden Golf Club, the day before we will be having an open day at the museum where the clubs will be displaying bikes, trophies and memorabilia from the past 75 years our club has been formed. We would dearly love to see you all there including all past members.
