8th August 2010
Myself, Trevor, Gary Gunner & Graham Fielden all lined up for the 4-up Team Trial at Bentley, it started badly with firstly a gap forming at the start with Graham lagging, he then caught up and pulled a massive turn. Gary was not feeling good to start with, wouldn’t go or couldn’t go through and was ready to pack it in. Trevor had a word and we all got back together, this went well for a couple of miles, but I could already see that Graham was struggling.
After 5 or 6 miles we encountered a group of Gypsies who were racing their horse and carts, unbelievably the horse fell over in the middle of a dual carriageway and we had to slow right down, luckily they got the horse back up and were on their way pretty quickly. In the meantime we were able to weave slowly through the carnage and regroup albeit minus Graham. The three of us got into a very good rythym and were really motoring, Trev started to struggle a wee bit towards the end but we managed to finish in a 56:30, which considering all the interuptions wasn’t too bad. Only finished 30 secs behind the “B” team with our “A” team taking the win. More pics here…
