The second Horsham Riders Trials Club outing played hjst to another large entry at Mannings Heath, near Horsham, Sussex.A total of 51 riders tackled a very slippery course set out on Saturday and heavy overnight rain made the sections even more difficult than expected.
Section one proved very hard for the White route riders with a drop down by the large pond and a tight turn up over a rock wall.
First rider through was Michael Hyden – who was out for the first time on a new 2016 Beta.
He picked up an unwanted five though, with good rides on this section from trial winner Andy Dudman and Jack Dance.
On the Blue route young Jack Taylor recorded his second win of the year from Jim Marsh and regular winner Tom Horsborough who was having a hard time in the mud. Paul Aylett took his first win on the Yellow route, a jump of three places from the last month.
