	.Local Lad Jake Evans-Luter took the A class honours in the latest British Youth A and B class Championships. The club had kindly asked me along to take photos and perhaps a report for the printed Trials media. So i had a ring side seat to see the youngsters at work, and my god can they ride!! Obviously I get to see Jake's riding in local trials but when you see him and the other top A riders tackle what, to me, looked like some dodgy parts of sections it makes you realise that the next generation that move into the adult ranks are not going to be found wanting! It was sorted for me to ride my Bike around the event so I could get to as many sections as possible so after the trial I had a quick ride of a B class route and am pleased to say I cleaned it... just! Sadly I then rode out of the stream and hit a rock hard and snapped my rear brake pedal.. doh!!! I will leave a trial report as someone may print my utterings later but must say what a great Job the people at the Pontypool DMMC did with the event, especially in testing weather conditions. The heavy rain made it hard to get good photos but i tried...   For a 75 image gallery of the event click Here. Also now available are the full results in .xls format.. Full A class results .xls ...

Local Event.. Yeo Vale	Must say a big thanks to the Yeo Vale club for not only a very nice welcome but a great trial on 13th June. The sun shone all day and the whole event was perfectly set up and run. I convinced myself, after looking at the first section near the car park, that I would ride the Expert route in the clubman/expert class. Turned out that this section was by far the easiest of the day and I struggled on a few of the expert sections. Not really from lack of riding skill but mainly that I got knackered about 3/4 of the way around the first lap and then had to do 3 more!! After very little riding in the last 2 months I now realise I need to get my rider fitness back up again.. and stop eating Macdonalds and chocolate :) The sections were spot on and it was nice to see a full set of classes marked out including a green course for complete beginners and some of the very young kids on small wheel bikes. It was also nice for me to have so many people come up to me during the day and say how much they enjoy this site... it turns out it isn't just me who reads it!! I would highly recommend anyone to pop down, or up or across, to the next Yeo Vale event and have a bloody good day out. Results from this trial and further club info can be found on the Yeo Vale MCC web site.
