THE RILEY M.C.
TWO R.A.C. closed permits have been issued to the Club, the first for the 12 Hours Reliability Trial to be held on February 18th, and the second for the Club’s annual 24 Hours Trial on June 23rd and 24th.
Regulations are now to hand of the 12 Hours Trial, and a most interesting course has been arranged. The start will take place at the White Hart Hotel, Salisbury, and the route will be via Shaftesbury, Yeovil, Beaminster, Bridport, Asker’s Road House, Maiden Newton, Ibberton, Blandford to Bournemouth. The following hills will be taken in, Capstitch, Chur Lane, Meerhay, Knowle Lane, Black Hill and Ibberton. Probably the worst hill is Knowle Lane, and competitors who enter as novices will not be required to climb this, and will undergo a stop and restart test on Gypsy Lane instead. An unusual test will take place on Black Hill. Competitors will start from a line, accelerate 50 yards, stop, run back 10 yards, stop, restart and accelerate another 50 yards, and come to rest with their front wheels between two lines 2 feet apart. Finally there will be a timed ascent of Ibberton Hill. The finish will be at the Burlington
Hotel, Bournemouth, where a festive evening will be enjoyed.
Any Riley owner who is not yet a member of the Club, and who would like to enter for the Trial should get in touch with the Clerk of the Course, R. C. Porter, of Messrs. Boon & Porter, Ltd., Castlenau, Barnes, S.W.
