Thanks for the encouragement, we had a great day out but some sections were a little tough for Jack, new to the Beta and new to trials, but he really enjoyed the day and now cant wait for the next meeting. With both of us new to trials it was quite a tricky day looking after Jack and also trying to work out what I should be doing myself, and although we ended up a bit all over the place the experience was great, with all the observers offering encouragement to keep going and let Jack ride whatever bit's of the section he was happy with.
It did rain from around 1:30 and made some sections quite slippery but we were still the last riders playing around until the burger van left.
We have joined Waltham chase club so will be looking for their next meeting, and with the knowledge gained hopefully we can both complete all laps and sections.
