Flora Wins for Kevin Miller and Ryan Tonkin

Popular trial with 118 bikes entered

Ryan and Claire Tonkin on their way to winning the car category on The Flora Trial

The sports most southerly event was well supported with 118 bikes and 15 Cars entered for the Pendennis Motorcycle & Light Car Club’s Flora Trial which started in Redruth and followed a figure of eight route.

With the nature of the sections the club need to limit the number of cars taking part and their entry mainly comes from west county drivers. Needless to say the cars don’t tackle some of the narrow sections.

Bike winner Kevin Miller also won last years event. Kevin runs the popular Facebook Group Long Distance Trials, LDT’s, Lightweight Bikes UK covering the LDT scene which embraces trail bikes competing on a road event with sections more challenging than ACTC or MCC events.
