Trials Reviews & Previews

Unexpected overnight rain made the course at Bracken rocks a bit more slippery than intended but the 47 riders who contested Round 10 of the Peak Classic Trials Club Club Championship rose to the occasion and everybody had a great time at this very popular venue in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District. 47 entrants was a fabulous turn out that made all the effort put in by Paul Beswick setting 11 sections with the help of Tony Sprinks and input from legendary Mick Andrews that tested the riders abilities without being dangerous worthwhile. Current Intermediate Twinshock Championship leader and reigning East Midlands Centre ACU Classic Twinshock Champion Tony Sprinks …

middlesbrough & district motor club will be holding the vic boys trial at lazenby tomorrow (november 27th) it will be adult only 3 laps,10 sections, 3 route, 11am start. we have put a big lap on again, if you have never rode here before its a bit like a enduro between sections (good fun). hope to see a few there, if you can bring a observer GREAT, its a fair old walk to most of the sections so if they have a bike better still. Cheers Paul.

Well the weather forcast is looking a LOT better for this Sunday than it did just 12 months ago when we had to cancel last years event due to snow making the venue inaccessable. Been down today and will be finishing the sections tomorrow for Sundays event which looks to be a good un So if you ride a British Bike, Twinshock or Pre 95 air Cooled Monoshock why not come along to Bracken Rocks this Sunday for a super days sport with a club dedicated to Classics and Twinshocks where the sections are laid out with these bikes in mind not a modern trial with a classes for Twinshocks and British Bikes added just to swell the numbers. Three routes Expert, Intermediate and Club…

Can anyone tell me what classes are running in this trial ? Pre 65, Twin Shock, Air Cooled Mono ? And are any of these pulling a number of entries ? Thanks Ross

VMCC North West Section fun trial at Leisure Lakes in Tarleton, nr Southport this Sunday (27th Nov 11). 6 nice easy sections, 10 short laps, nice and easy - no broken bikes. Good fun.

Three routes Hard, Middle and Easy. Starts at 11:00am. Hope to be able to offer a challenge on the Expert route and a "good day out" on the middle and easy routes. Thanks

The club apologises for any inconvinience or disappointment this may cause but the E class organiser feels the venue is not suitable at this time for an OSET round.

On the 20th of November, The Worthing Trials Club are running their annual Brian Fowler National at the Hook Woods Trials Centre, in West Horsley. Hook Woods is known for being one of the only bits of land in the south east to have rocks. It is also popular with many of the top riders in the UK today, having hosted two British Championship rounds, numerous British Youth and Ladies rounds and also the Inter Centre Team Trial. The trial is a Clubman National aimed to suit riders from the centre's intermediate route, up to the very best in the UK, and will predominately consist of flowing sections up the numerous rocky gullies. There are three routes to ride, with the Exper…

Just wondering if anyone on here will be riding the BMCA trial on Sunday at Bowley, Herefordshire. (The waterfall) Excellent venue if you have never been there, well worth a look.

Riders will then return to the…

South Birmingham MCC are hosting the next round of the Sammy Miller series on the Clee Hill on 23 October. This location offers a good variety of sections including Groups such as Bedlam and Park Lane, natural rocky streams that were used when the Greensmith ran as a full British Championship trial back in the twinshock days (although the Miller round isn't as hard as the trial was back then...) A central location means travel from most parts of the country is reasonable. There are the usual 2 routes with roadwork linking up the groups, for what will be an excellent days sport for twinshock and pre65 competitors, solo and sidecar. The Miller series offers a reasonably…

The Glorious few could have been the perfect title for the 19 riders who supported the Peak Classic Trials Club when they held round 8 of their club championship at Dudwood Farm, Elton, Nr Matlock last Sunday 18th September. The Trial also incorporating round 5 of the East Midland Centre ACU Classic Championship. Perhaps the disappointing numbers were because of a dates clash with two other local Classic Clubs who chose to run a road trial and an endure on the same day who knows but the organisers Paul and Donna Beswick are very grateful to the riders who did turn up to support the Club. The forecast rain failed to materialize until after the event which was thankfully m…

Sorry for the long title but thats what it is Peak Classic Trials Club are holding Round 8 of their Club Championship this Sunday 18th September at Dudwood Farm, Elton Near Matlock Derbyshire. The Trial also incorporates Round 5 of the East Midlands Centre ACU Classic Bike Championship.
