I T rial by one's peers : R ich Delaney tackles Expert Section Eight under close scrutiny by George Smith, Jeff Koskie, Mike Griffiths. SCTA had ch ang ed all th e sections for Sunday , making them to ugher than Saturday 's relatively easy run. New Section Ten was a be ar: it teased the ri der with a ti cklish steep des cent over rocks into a sandwash and a tight turn over a log, then spit h im straight at a 15 foo t climb up a jum ble o f til ted rock slabs. The section caught J eff Koskie twice; it go t Martin Belair once. Bernie cleaned it once, then cam e across wi th a on e. Mar land attac ked the trap on the second round and had a clean ride going up the ro ck fa ce. He was going up -to the left, but a bobble near the top put him o ff line too late to correct, carryi ng him outside the section. "It was a dumb five to t ake" he said later, as a single' prod co uld have saved it and protected hi s lead. The tr ial had been decided. It was easy cleans for both riders th e rest of the way. Bernie had taken the Expert class with 2 1 points to Marland's 25. Sunday's run was shortened to tw o loops instead of three ; partly to prevent a rebellion by half-frozen scorers, partly to beat more snow. Snow-laden clouds we re already breaking over th e high ridges like storm surf. Maybe t he less said abou t the cam psite under these co nditions, th e better. The situation there shouldn't be blamed on the club. They were taken in by a typically self-serving landholder who had the nerve to ca ll a barren field on th e shore of a shallowsalt-marsh a "lakefront cam psite.
