Several folk have been asking me about the classic trials in France ( classic as in; modern bikes ,multi day single lap/day)..just to say that The 3 days of Ardeche entries opened yesterday and were oversubscribed within 2 hours. entries accepted on first come first served basis so moral of this story is you need to make your mind up and act early to get a ride. I think Janet & I are the only Brits agaian this year but we hope to see plenty of compatriots at Geuret in June.

it has been noted that you didnt mention the applications process before!

does this mean I might find a decapitated horse's head in my bed? It's all on line.. you need to keep an eye on trialclub.com or planet trial or todo trial. Other ones to google are Indre 3 days (coming soon), not sure if Haut Vosges running this year, or indeed Aveyron... Moto club12 and of course ATC St.Christophe for la Creuse (Geuret4 day mid July). As with most things European and particularly French "things" /rules/insurance etc. are all getting more difficult , there is (despite great efforts on behalf of John Collins) no clear cut or simple/inexpensive way to get licence for these international events as it appears the fIM international trials licence is "aimed at WTC level rather than a bunch of pleasure/leisure seekers wanting to try something different.

Entries are open for the "3 jours de l'indre"

I will be expecting a personal notification next year or you may wake up next to a dead montesa engine or similar!
