Trials Reviews & Previews

HI all, I'm wanting to do the Leamington Victory trial at Catesby on March 19th. Trouble is that there is no Phone number in the T&MX regs. so, I then tried to ring the club secretary..(number found in the ACU book)...and his number must have changed, 'cause I was told it was the wrong number. Can anyone help????? (who I can contact etc?) Got to sort it soon, because the entries close this weekend. thanks in advance for any help

Times getting close for Lochabers traditional SSDT precursor, The "Ian Pollock memorial trial" . This event is traditionally based in Kinlochleven and as well as having some of the best scenery and views in Britain it allows entrants to ride a few of the SSDT subs as well as the long ride out in the moors which the trial is famous for. The regs are now available for download at:- www.lochabermcc.co.uk , dont be slow though as entries are limited to 150 and the event in the past has been oversubscribed. Why not make a weekend of it , family , friends all welcome (you can even observe if you are keen enough,with or with out bike, just get in touch). hope to see you all …

Dan Thorpe mastered the freezing conditions to win the Stratford-Upon-Avon clubs National Colmore Cup on Sunday. Dropping a miserly three marks, Dan beat Sam Connor who lost nine, in an event which punished the unwary with unexected fives on sections which polished up like glass in sub zero temperatures. Full results to follow soon.

hi, i just wondered if any of you could let me know if there is any difference, between a beginers trial, and a novice trial, or what is the difference, between those two and an over 40s trial,??????? the reason i ask is that, when i was younger i had enjoyed owning and riding several trials bikes, (old monts and bultacos, 70s bikes) i hadnt however been in any trial, back then i had access to old pits, and woods, i carried on like that for about 10years or so. then i had a big gap of about 17 years of not owning or riding a bike at all, (except for doing some "proper" mountain bike riding). then in september, i decided to treat myself and went and bought a new sherco…

Due to the very icy conditions at Deer Park the First round has been cancelled. An alternative date will be provided. Apologies to any riders planning to attend.

At the start of this week the IOWMCC had 15 entries for the first round of the ladies British championship on March 12 . If the Ladies don't support thier championship why should clubs bother to organise trials for them, it takes as much effort to put on a trial for 15 as 115 riders. The club even had a beginners route planed, but at the moment we have one section per rider. Maybe things will improve this week but time is running out.

The entry list is now available for the Stratford-Upon-Avon Club Colmore Cup on Sunday.

Starts on Saturday!!(4th March) The Venue is Deer Park Just outside Bingley and for those wanting a lie-in or those more rightous of you working in the morning its starting at 2PM. A conducted course will be run as well for the Small wheelers.

Can I download some regs anywhere for the Classic round March 19th. Haven't done this trial before, but have heard it's well worth the trip.

The popular Edinburgh St George Plaza trial takes place on Sunday March 12th near Lauder in the Scottish borders - its a good regular trial - approx 3mile lap and no silly stuff - 'A' route is laid out for non experts but will still challenge experts - and we cater for all classes down to B youths on the easier 'B' route - As we give out no silly plastic awards, the proceeds from the trial go to a local good cause - last year the local village primary school got a cheque for

It's the first round of the ACU's national trail bike series on Sunday 19th March. I must say I'm looking forward to this excellent event. Starting near Winchcombe, the Cheltenham Home Guard Club put on a good days trail riding with 30 observed sections across the Cotswold Hills near Cheltenham. Although the Barrett has dropped it's classic bike title this year, they still have a healthy entry of trail bikes with almost 80 riders starting at minute intervals from 9am.

Hi all I'm new to the forums so hi all, i just got back into the sport last year after a 6 year lay off so glad to be back in the swing of things.

When is the event? and How do i get Regs? Thanks for your help Jon

The Stratford-Upon-Avon Club are running the Colmore Cup as a one-off National for 2006, on the 5th March. Starting at a new venue; Downs Farm near Bourton-on-the-Hill, (signposted from A44) the 40 section 25mile road trial will visit many of the favourite traditional Groups high on the Cotswold hills, plus five brand new sections in the steep wood at Top Farm overlooking the Vale of Evesham. In it's 75+ year history Colmore Winners include, Sammy Miller, Steve Saunders, Steve Colley, Dougie Lampkin, Sam Conner and Graham Jarvis. As a non championship round, the sections will be less severe than last year when winner Graham Jarvis dropped 15 marks, mainly in the infamo…

Just had my results from two recent trials I rode with CWAC, what a nice suprise to see a couple of photos inside (of me at each trial) with the results (heard they had to get a A4 envelope for bikespace ) Lovely touch, do any other clubs take photos of all the riders and post them with the results ?

There are 70 entries for the latest round of the Midland Centre Group trial championship held by the South Shropshire club on SUnday. I was wondering if anyone had ridden at the venue before and if so what is it like? I am very late in the starting order - each club has to take their turn at being last and it's ours this week.

The entry details for this Trial dropped through my letter box this morning. Without doubt it was the best one day Clubman Trial I rode in last year, it wasn't easy by any means but every section was on & there was nowt daft or intimidating. One lap of 50 sections on a fairly tight time limit & a proper set of rules, let's hope it's not foggy this year so we can see where we're off!
