Hi.

finally getting everything sorted for my first trial. I am not a member of the earl shilton club but due to shifts its looking like it could be my first. First for a lot of things, first trial, first time riding a bike off road.

Cant find much info on the event other than its the jack frost trial but does anyone know if its suitable for a newbie?

cheers everyone. time to get my new boots dirty.

Hi Fitz, I take it you have an ACU licence sorted, if so get yourself down there on the 8th Feb, aim to arrive 9 - 9.30, go have a look at the sections first, if you feel confident fill out an entry form (white route) and have a go, if not then stick around, grab a cuppa and a burger, have a wonder round, watch what goes on, have a chat and think about spending £50 on a practice membership, it'll help boost your confidence.

Hopefully I'll be there TY175 red brake & clutch levers, blue helmet, stop and say Hi

right 90% there. bike sorted. transport sorted, boots lid and glubs sorted, everything sent to acu fingers crossed it will arrive shortly. Do i need to fill the application form out and hand it in on the day or do i need to send it to someone in advance. Thanks for putting up with these complete newb questions, i never done or been involved in any sort of motorsport, only spectated. I have the form from the site am probably missing something obvious as usual.

if it doesnt work out i'll still turn up. am not hard to miss 6"6 tall with blonde dreadlocks :)

Hi Fitz,

If you licence hasn't arrived by middle of next week, call Acu licence department and they will sent you licence conformation email so you have number and proof of licence. Save you filling another form in. They are clamping down on licences at the moment.

Everything else, entry form etc, you can fill in on the day.

I'll keep an eye out for you on the 8th.

Tom

to answer my own question, yes, very newb friendly.

A bit thanks to everyone who gave me advice. The family in the blue sherco jackets big thanks and Ian and Tony for showing me the ropes.

A great day, muddy to the eyeballs and i cant wait for the next one. :)

Your welcome Alex it was good to meet you and the best thing about having newb's come along is that it makes my score look better, glad you had a great day, the grin should last a fair few days
