Trial Biking: Ian Austermuhle wins Chequers trial

Malton’s Ian Austermuhle fought off a strong challenge from young West Witton rider Richard Sadler on Sunday to win Northallerton District Motor Club’s Chequers trial at Osmotherly.

A biting cold day met the riders over a two-lap, 18-section course, and Austermuhle assured himself the win by superb non-stop rides on the long, rocky gullies of eight and 13 to stay unpenalised.

Scarborough DMC held a youth trial at their Harwood Dale practice ground.

The Peace brothers from Kirkbymoorside, Dan and Jack, continued their winning ways to take ‘A’ and ‘B’ class respectively over the four-lap, ten-section course.

Scarborough’s Zac Collin-son and Callum Williamson battled gamely, but could not match the younger Peace in ‘B’. Tough nut Elliot Woodall and Claire Collinson, also both from Scarborough, won ‘C’ and ‘D’ class respectively.
