There was a good turn out of riders from both Alberta and BC for the Trial on April 3rd, to remember Adrian Brown, who died in England last January. The full results can be seen on www.trialscanada.com and pictures on the gallery at www.outlawtrials.com

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 March trial at the Ioco riding area is to be held this weekend, the 28th. Bobby T has put together two loops, one for the beginner/juniors, and one for the Intermediate/advanced/experts; if the past is any indication, look for some very traditional trials sections, well laid out. Spencer

We will be holding this Trial on Easter Saturday April 3rd near Vernon BC Canada to remember our old friend Adrian who passed away on January 2nd in London England after a long battle with cancer. Ady lived in Canada for a number of years, and was very well liked as a man with a big sense of humour.

Just a note to those needing a riding fix this weekend; we at the CPTA are hosting our first competition of the year this weekend (Feb 21st) at the Ioco club property. The weather is promising to be perfect with three loops laid out for beginners, junior/intermediate, and advanced/experts. All riders are welcome, with sign-up at 9:30 am, riders meeting at 10:00 am, riding shortly after. Thanks to Paul Brodie and Ted McDowell for the hard work getting the event ready. Spencer Fitschen
