The Trial to remember our old buddy Adrian who died in London England last January, will go this Saturday at Vernon BC - We expect many of Ady's friends to be riding from both Vancouver, Kelowna, Vernon and Alberta. We will post pics (if possible as I'm a bit of an old fart at the computer stuff) One of the more spectacular sections, we have named "Adrian's Wall"

The WTC (World Trials Canada) Eastern Canadian Championship goes this weekend in Quebec - and The Western Rounds take place in Revelstoke BC on June 28/29. Posters for both events can be seen on Trials Canada - www.trialscanada.com.

The annual Adrian Brown memorial Trial, was held in OK Falls BC on October 18th - Adrian was a popular member of the Trials group in the Okanagan Valley, and had a wonderful sense of humor. - Unfortunately we lost him way to soon to Cancer at age 50 when this was discovered on a visit to his London UK home in 2001. - His local club in the UK was the Bognor Regis and this year, his parents sent out a special plaque to display at this yearly event which is all about raising money for Cancer research. We are happy to report that we collected $890.00 for this worthy cause, but more importantly we shared a lot of good memories of Adrian around the camp fire.

The Joe Brown Trial, the first round of the Outlaw Series, was held at the Shawnigan Lake venue, on Vancouver Island April 12/13th. The Vintage Trial on Saturday had 11 riders on a variety of twin-shock machines, with Steve Fracy winning the "A" line on his 300 Fantic. - Kevin Couves was the surprise winner of the "B" line on an Ossa MAR - this was Kevin's first time out after a 12 year lay-off. The Sunday event for modern bikes saw Will Duggan take the Expert Class win. Pictures can be seen by clicking onto www.outlawtrials.com -gallery.

Well another great year in the Maritimes After 3 years of putting on 3 day indoor shows in March we decided to give it a rest this year. It was kind of nice not having to worry about it and I had a great trip to BC to do a bit of skiing and see some of the West coast (I even had a chance to see some Trials riding on Vancouver Island. We typically have our big training weekend with Jonathan in the spring but the spring didn't work out this year for Jonathan (but he was able to get over to the SSDT for another top Canadian finish). We decided to move the training weekend to September. Our 5 events were well spread out with 3 in the valley one by the Halifax airport a…

Just to give everyone a heads up. The Canadian Pacific Trails Association (CPTA) will be having their next trial in Squamish B.C. at one of the riding areas of the Howe Sound Trials Riders Association. The ride will be on Aug 24th, 2008 with the sign-in at 9:00 am on the pegs at 10:00 am. Their will be two loops through the Crumpit Woods riding area, one for junior and intermediate the other for the advanced and experts, both featuring dirt, the occasional log and copious amounts of the famous Squamish granite.

Hi All, Just wanted to thank everyone that came out and supported trials riding in 2014. Special thanks goes to NSORRA, WTC, RPM Cycle, Beta Atlantic, NSDSC, The Outdoor Show, Jonathan English and all the riders that made the year a ton of fun. We had a great turnout for the outdoor show this year and I think the head to head competitions were a hit with both the riders and the thousands of spectators. Every year we have put on a different type of show and have a bunch of fun during these 3 day indoor events. Now we just need to dream up something for 2015. The training day with Jonathan English was sold out early and for good reason. Just watching a pro level rider…

The 23rd running of the Famous Outlaw Trial will go next weekend Oct 9th and 10th. - The vintage Trial is on Saturday and the modern on Sunday The location is Summerland in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, and the Trial is sanctioned by the WEC. - an approx loop of 30km and 20 sections for the Experts ridden twice, gives the riders a great day out, and challenges for all, BUT the secret to the success of this event has always been sensible sections for all classes. We have sections named Avalanche Alley and Devil's Staircase, (the link to UK Trials is obvious,) but the main reason people keep coming back is because they enjoy the camp out, and the family type atmosphere,…
