The 2009 British Trials Championship moves to Brimham Rocks near Pateley Bridge this Sunday for the Mackenzie Trial. Promoted by the Yeadon Guiseley DMC Gas Gas rider James Dabill currently leads the series from Michael Brown on the Sherco as the championship heads towards its conclusion. With Dougie Lampkin entered will Dabill be able to make it three wins over his friend and rival having beaten him twice already this year in British Championship events. In the Expert A class Sam Connor has the crown in his grasp having dominated the series so far. In the Expert B class though, it’s a totally different story as the Scorpa pairing of Sam Ludgate and John Crinson battle for supremacy. The post code for the “Sat Nav” fans is HG3 4DW but the event will also be sign posted from the A61 Ripon/Harrogate road, the start time is 11.00am. Please note the club has requested “No Dogs” at this venue.
