On Saturday 25th April, Stratford MCC will be running a trial for beginners / newcomers, with a practise session in the morning. This will be at Saintbury Quarry, opposite Dormy House Hotel, near Broadway Golf Course, Worcs.

 

This will be for anybody who has little or no experience of trials riding. Riders will be expected to come in the morning to practise the actual sections they will be riding in the afternoon trial. We plan to have only five sections, each with a different focus (eg rocks, steps, cambers, tight turns, climbs). There will be easy and slightly harder routes to each section.  The day will go as follows:

 

Arrival 10am sign-on for 10.30 start of practise session. (£10 entry fee for the day)

 

There will be coffee and biscuits to start with introduction and questions.

 

The riders will be split into groups and will have a 20 to 30 minute time on each section, then  move on to the next.

 

1.00 – 1.30ish BYO lunch (or possible fish & chip run if wanted)

 

2.00 (approx)  – Trial begins

 

Winners will be announced at the end

 

If riders are not a member of any club or do not have ACU membership, they can do that on the day (will need to have some money with them). Children must be accompanied by an adult.

 

Spaces are limited (although there are still spaces) so riders will need to reply if they are planning to come so we can keep an eye on the numbers.

Ideal event for those thinking of entering their first trial!

I had a very enjoyable and educational day today, many thanks to all those that gave up there time to help us wobblers.
