cheers james

Dont expect anything and just enjoy yourself.

Hi James

I will be there tomorrow riding the Clubmam sections the same sections as you as there is no beginners sections.I ride the beginners and am riding Novice Clubman for the first time. Have you been practicing @ Cowm ? You will need to have some Bike expereance to ride this Trial. I have seen first time riders with Motorcross or Enduro exsperiance do well on there first trial. If you ride tomorrow there will probely be betweeen 8 & 10 sections spred around the Quarry you will have to ride around the Quarry four times each time riding all the sections. You will need to join the ACU on the day if you are not a member

The next one for Darwen Club will be better for you. Do the beginners course and you should be alright.

Trials is practically free compared to motocross !!

The next trial is at Back Cowm Quarry this Sunday 11th Sept. @ 11.00 am. This trial is with the Darwen Club and shouldn't be to difficult for a first time beginner, so if you turn up, just take your time and enjoy yourself !!
