White Rose Ramblings

 

Sunday the 11th saw America remembering the tenth aniversary of the terror attack whilst here in north Yorkshire we were celebrating the fiftieth running of our White Rose Trial. Not officially a National event thanks to clashing with the Inter Centre event in Mid Wales, which incidentally was won by the Yorkshire adults and youths.

Wishing all the riders a good morning as they exited from bridle path no.32 on to the Ingleton to Hawes road mostly produced a reply, but some were thinking about the horrors awaiting them around the course. From here it was down the road to Snaizeholme where Renee Smith was manning ( or womaning ) the section which bore her name ie. Renee's Gorge. The end gate for the easier route? was about ten foot wide which makes the riders think; not always a good thing! The next section in the wood did not see any cleans on the main course but the Clubmen had it a bit easier. It was good to see former Centre champ, Glen Scholey, out on his air cooled Yamaha. I see from the results that Sam Ludgate was the only one of the top riders to have a five on section 8 at Gritstones, we'd better get it tarmaced for next year then he could use his racer!

We didn't do too bad with the weather this year, but one day it's going to bite.
