Trials Reviews & Previews

The Dabbers Trials club event at Widdington nr Saffron Walden was very tricky due to the constant rain on Saturday and with no let up all day today there was a river running through the grounds, most riders completed 3 laps of twelve sections. Thanks to the club stalwarts for setting out and all the Observers who got soaked through along with the riders.

Has any one got any infomation for the world championship round in france?? Lee

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.

There are three routes to ride, with the Exper…

Comments from one of the competitors at last years event Wish Bone Success

Dear Jim'll Fix It I know it's only 35 years since I wrote to you last and my mother did say that I should be patient but when I asked you to fix it for me to have a ski lesson with Franz Klammer I was hoping to do it before he (and I) retired! So Jim, here I am writing again in the hope that you can fix it for me and all the other wobbly trials riders in the district to persuade Wrigglesworth Building Services to repeat the superb summer evening series for beginners next year. Wednesday evening arrived and instead of stress I felt nervous excitement. Is this normal - everyone else seemed very laidback? My mission this time was not just to finish but to improve on th…

Any idea where I can get regs for this and where it is. The ACU site says it's at Great Wood near Hambledon, which I assume they mean Hambleden. Sorted and entry in. Thanks.

Good trial at Bowley Court which managed to finish before the rain started. Plenty of mud though and some good sections. Pitley managed to lay out a three-route trial to cater to beginners, which I think was well received/ Pictures and Report I think the results will appear on the ACU Western Centre Site...find out more later this evening

This years Wyegate staged by the WG&DF Club was a fairly tough challenge mainly due to the rain, but was a superb event and really well organised, we had a marvellous day out. Neil Ludlow and I were lucky to get an entry as the organisers had taken the decision to limit riders to smaller and more nimble machines such as Gas Gas Pamepra's, Beta Alps and classic trials bikes meaning that our larger, less suitable 400's were placed on the reserve list. We were relieved when the email came through from the Jackie the secretary of the meeting saying we were in! Joining us from the Stratford-Upon-Avon club were John Cart, Dave Hayward and Alan Newman. With a lap of al…
