August 7, 201115 yr Hi all Did my first trial yesterday with the Waltham Chase club, the day started of with some training but sadly i'm useless with names so couldn't tell you his name Steve something, & I can only remember his first name as it's the same as mine !! Learn't so much, I didn't realise just how much fun it would be, I felt aprehensive on the way but for no reason as it turned out to be a great day, after some grub and a much needed rest it was time for my first attempt at doing it for real. Did the yellow route which was challenging enough, but blinking good fun, couple of feet down but hey it was my 1st time and I loved it Got home very tired and looking forward to the next time, with a few alterations to my bike needing done I hope to improve on my next attempt Thank you to Waltham Chase club, Steve (thingy) for the training, and everybody else for all the kind words of encourgement along with very usefull tips
August 7, 201115 yr Steve Saunders. If memory serves me correctly he's never one a world championship but should have as in his day (80's) he was superb. Think he won the SSDT 3 or 4 times. I used to be a member of the Waltham Chase Club in the mid eighties as a youngster, and been going along to a few trials recently with the idea of getting back into it again. Just gotta sort myself a bike and a licence. Glad you had fun.

It gets more fun as time goes on. Pretty soon you'll be like the rest of us and when you're taking the wife for a drive in the country, you'll also be scanning the sides of the road for ravines, creeks and rocks and thinking "Cool! That would make a neat section....". Trials is addictive. Cheers. Jon
