Double Trouble at Whale Rock

OCTOBER 8TH, 2023, write up by David Webster

The Double Trouble Trial was named for the Brothers Webster, Paul and David, who were Trialsmasters for the day. And for the fact that Three of the Ten Sections were double or continuous.

Sections 1/2, 4/5 and 9/10 were designed to test the riders ability and stamina. Most contestants said they had a fun time and I saw a lot of smiles. Three of the 30 riders were from out of state...Kevin Benedict, John Condie and Preston Nelson and we thank them for the long drive and hope they will be back. A brand new rider...12 year old Reagan Monger showed she could hang with the boys...While our 12 year old prodigy Matt Simpson only lost One point the entire day.

Special thanks to Joe Palrang for the Trophies this year, and to Jim Ellis who lets us ride on his land.
