22nd July, Coppermine Creek
It was technically a practice trial so we only had to pay half price for our entry fee.
Our 15 entries was a much better turn out than the eight competitors at our last trial.
Everyone had to get to the trial early to help set up.
Mum and I set section 1. According to Hugo it waas the best section for the social line.
My favorite section was three. The best I got on it was a one. It was quite tight with a couple of banks and a hill climb, all under pine trees.
After the first lap my day felt like it was going downhill. My second lap was actually the best score-wise, but I was fading.
On my third lap I ripped my pants on my mudguard, then I fell off trying to get up a bank. I landed on my back on top of a small stone. This was painful enough. Then my bike fell on me!
All of the sections were quite challenging and despite my crash, not dangerous.
