Here we go into March
Five trials this month (no motocross, enduros grass track or road racing in this centre any more, much is the pity), the events being the Westmorland Club’s Milnthorpe Trial on March 2, the Barrow Club’s Founder Members Trial on March 9, Sedbergh MC have a multi-class trial on March 16, then it’s Barrow again with the D.R.Burrow on March 23 then finally the Bootle Club have round 2 of the Sorra Classic Championships trial on March 30.
Starting with Westmorland on March 2 with the Milnthorpe, as already reported on this site it will be on the club’s own land at Lindale and Westmorland are also able to use the wooded area above Lindale for 2 or 3 sections. The trial is likely to be 3 laps of 12 or 13 sections. It will be a Northern Centre round with hard, green and clubman courses with a start time of 10.30 and entries taken at the start.
The Founder Members by Barrow will be at Stribers Farm with the start area alongside the Haverthwaite to Cark-in-Cartmell road for four laps of ten sections again with a start time of 10.30.Secretary Angus Jenkinson will be waiting to take your entry fees on the morning.
Sedbergh MC have a multi-class trial on the Batty’s land at Ghyll Farm, Bowston, a great venue for club trials, again the start time will be 10.30 with entries taken at the start.
Graythwaite Forest is only used once each year by the Barrow Club for their trials and the D.R.Burrow is definitely one of the best which makes excellent use of this forest, despite the prevalence of fallen timber due to the storms of recent years. Entries taken at the start which will be 10.30am. This is also a Northern Centre Championship round .
Finally for March we come to the Bootle Club’s Sorra round which will be round 2 of this classic bike championship series, previously known as the Rockshock or Kia or Sebac trials. Fell Green is the venue, 10.30 is the start time but for this trial you will need to enter via the ACU/Sport 80 system in advance as the entry will be closing on the Wednesday before the trial. This is so an entry list can be drawn up with riders in the correct classes.
