Yorkshire Classic Boxing Day Charity Trial
By TMX Archives on 30th Dec 14
After the excesses of Christmas what was needed was a gentle run out across rough pastures up the hill from Glusburn, North Yorkshire for the Yorkshire Classic Boxing Day Charity Trial.
Star of the day was Ady Brayshaw in his Michelin Man gear, walking away with the best festive outfit of the day.
Unfortunately the headgear restricted vision and had to be modified to avoid problems after the first lap.
But well done for getting into the spirit of the event.
Of the 35 entries four riders glided round the single route course without dropping a mark.
Credit to young Jack Butterworth on his rebuilt big Triumph twin with older brother Ben also going clear on his grandad's Cub as his own Ariel is undergoing a rebuild.
Top performer Tony Calvert was, as expected, clean together with Nottinghamshire's Brent Cordon on a lightweight Bantam.
Andy Webbe on his rigid Matchless and Mick Clarke on his trusty springer Ariel were the best of the rest losing only two each, with the lightweights close behind.
