Hi

Just received my number through for this years trial and upon reading the information sent to me it says that each day the trial starts from the daily venues which are not the start field.

Does this mean that on a morning we have to drive to the start field listed in our vans instead of setting off on bikes from the start field as we did last year?

Cheers

yes

Does this mean the amount of roadwork which is involved with the trial has been lessened as well?

No road work involved now.

That's abit of a bugger I enjoyed the roads in between groups of sections last year

Trials bikes are horrible on a road. Moor crossings are far more fun.

private roads and tracks will be used, msa has caused the change i believe.

You can still ride to the start if you want I will be, the first 2 days are starting at the Woodyard which is just down the road less than a mile, the 3rd day is a good ride it where last years Sunday dinner/fuel stop was, I'll be giving someone a can to carry down in there car, but I'm sure the club are taking into account the people who ride there by giving an early fuel stop.

Getting over excited about this now

MSA only allow 180 riders max unless you are on the schedule 4 list (think that's what it's called). Without a doubt Richmond mc are doing the right/best thong for the event. I really can't wait to get going. Best weekend of the year.

Next best thong ? surprised Ross hasn't picked up on that one LOL

Yeah I noticed it after I had posted it. Was wondering who would be first to clock it. At least it means you read the post properly OTF.

So just to clarify, the camping field and Trial HQ is all still in the same place?

The difference is we just need to make our way to the relevant starting place on each morning rather than starting from the 'start field'?

correct

Ok, different but whatever! If it makes things work then so be it!

Another question then, I take there will still be a few groups of sections each day which are fairly easily accessible to spectators? Need some places to point the missus and kids!

To be honest most sections are accessible if you know the area, your best off asking in the start office or a local for directions to the sections. I have the same problem with the wife.
