Somerset trials: no tribulations

Of late, there seems to be an expanded interest in classic trials and similar off-road events – as you’ll have seen from the number of mentions in the OBM news pages – and the Somerton Classic Motorcycle Club’s trial is one that has benefited from this interest, and which now has to cap the entry number to 100 riders and, thanks to the enthusiastic interest, late entries will not be accepted.
