NORTH-EASTERN CENTRE TRIAL.
The Junior Trophy Trial, organised by the N.E. Centre, was held last month, and attracted an entry of 96 members of 11 of the clubs affiliated to the Centre.
The trial was over a route specially selected to give those who had not yet won a premier award in any reliability trial or a gold pedal in an open trial a chance to compete together for the Junior Trophy, whilst those newcomers to the sport who had not won any award were eligible for a special award for the best performance put up by one of this class. The first man started at 9.30 a.m., the remainder following at one-minute intervals ; there were therefore over 30 miles of competitors, the first man having arrived at Stanhope before the last one left Chester-le-Street. The route, of fair severity, was by way of secondary roads via Lanchester, Wolsingham, Frosterley, Stanhope, Westgate, Daddery
Newbiggin, La.ngdon Bec, Ireshopeburn, Garrigal Moor, Nenthead, Kilhope, Cowshill, Newhouse Bank, Rookhope, Bay Bridge, Pennypie, Blanchland, Slaley, Carterway Heads, Castleside, Lanchester, Craghead, Chester-le-Street–117 miles.
