The 78th Kaikoura Three Day Trial was held on the traditional date in June, now named King’s Birthday Weekend. 76 solo entrants and 7 sidecars tackled the sections at a different property each day.
The first day was at Birches Road, Oaro, in fine weather with no frost. 3 laps of 12 sections, with no deep mud this year, and just a couple of sections in my grade that I couldn’t clean. Day 2 was held at Dairy Flat off the Inland Kaikoura Road, with fine weather and again no frost. A longer loop today with 4 laps of 10 sections. Only one tricky section in my grade, so points were low.
Sunday night saw us congregate at the Whaler Hotel for a meal and presentation to David Chambers who was riding at his 50th Kaikoura event. A great achievement and no doubt he will notch up a few more.
Overnight some periods of heavy rain could be heard on the roof of our accommodation, however this reduced to just some occasional light rain showers once we got to the venue. Half a dozen sections in the creek, with 3 laps of 12 sections in total. Some higher scores on this last day, but easier sections in our grade this year compared to previous.
Then to prize giving before disbursing for home. The event is supported by riders throughout New Zealand with a large number travelling from the North Island as well as regular competitors from across the full length of the South Island. A notable point is the number of families taking part with two and even three generations competing at the event. The large field of 10 Junior riders completed the same sections and loops as senior riders on all days. Seeing this number of Juniors completing the weekend, and their riding skills is great for the future of the sport.
The placings for each class are on the Pioneer Website. Stand out rides were Finn Pearce riding the red line and looking great on the bike. Each time I see him his riding has improved and he must surely be a future champion. A great ride also by Stuart Lawton on a 70’s Twin Shock TY taking first in Twin Shock, but also first in Intermediate. The Sidecar classes also saw some new pairings and new outfits this year. Stand out ride must be John Lawton who, with Conner Newton in the chair both had large smiles all weekend.

The pollination biology has only recently been discovered for this group of orchids. The green spots around the opening of the pouch mimic aphids. This is important because female flower flies of the genus Syrphus lay their eggs among aphids. The aphids serve as a food source for the newly hatched flower fly larvae.
In the case of this Phragmipedium, the female flower fly lands to investigate what she thinks are a nice colony of aphids. The sides of the pouch are very slick, and she falls into the pouch. The only way out of the pouch is past the pollinia and stigmatic surface, effecting pollination of the flower.

It is 3 April 2014, or Stuart Pearce Day, a time for rejoicing in Nottingham. The appointment of a club legend as manager is certainly no guarantee of success, these things can go horribly wrong, but there is an important emotional string between a fan and a football club that for many who have become disillusioned will have been re-attached by confirmation of today’s news.
Fans of a certain age are being whisked back to their youths when a rampaging left back won their hearts. The crunching tackles, the thunderous free kicks, the marauding runs and the Herculean thighs all combined to lift an electrician into a hero.... Psycho! Psycho! Psycho!
Today, however, is for the celebration of a returning hero. Through 12 years of wonderful service as a player Stuart Pearce deserves a glorious return and whether he succeeds or fails he remains one of the greats, one of the reasons we love Nottingham Forest. For much of this season I have felt myself drifting away, not wanting to watch my club being dragged through the mud, but today I look forward. Today I wear a grin that is broad and foolish. We are Nottingham Forest, Psycho is our leader! Legend!"
