if your there for the 3 days that'd be best guys! but ill be there on the day before the event starts to set everything up on what were riding so any ideas n stuff on what you wanna ride let me know and ill try and "replicate" it. but the course last year was good so ill keep some stuff the same. we might be able to move stuff around on the days but not too sure...

should be good though! :)

Is this being run alongside the Waterside mototrials club or the Waltham Chase guys or similar? All previous years have had the moto as the 'main event' with us cycle guys messing around in between. The moto boys also did the course set up in previous years making it to suit their riders ability (which ranges from little kids going over sleepers to national level riders doing big stuff.

thats right, basically the riding you and me done last year was enjoyed so much, a team has been requested to ride there (mainly your riding:p) so when the moto trials have a break, we go and ride, its basically taking turns but not like 5 minute rides, they'll be longer than that :)

Also like I said, most of it will be based on how it was last year so as a deffinite that the moto riders will be able to ride stuff there. Its mainly tweaks and adding some extras for us but I've got in mind that they're gonna be there too so ill keep it within their levels for sure. Hope that makes sense :)

Also being only 15, I'm not the one "in charge". My dad, the moto trials and the rally are in charge of course so they'll have a better understanding of stuff than me, I'm just passing it down really

Tom McMillan and I might be able to ride one of the days for you.

How many riders have you got? Might be able to gather another two riders...

so far if Dave is going, then 5 others adding you two and skuzzbucket if that makes sense, however we dont have time for "maybe's" any more so if you could pm me with your confirmed days that you'll be able to attend then that'd be great. info will always be kept private remember and it will be used to sort out insurance. If there's any questions or problems please don't hesitate to get in touch.

same goes for everyone else too, we need details very soon to sort out the insurance and time is running out. sooner its done, the better. All riders please note that without the insurance you will NOT be able to ride/perform at the venue.

I won't be able to do the Friday as I'm up in Scotland but should be around on the Saturday and Sunday.

no worries that's totally fine, if you could pm me with your full name and address then insurance will be sorted asap :)

is it actually going to be a good set up because us toast lads have completely forgotten about it now we're really curious about it all

why yes, of course. we might be able to move some stuff around should the toasted bagels want to be drama queens :P

to be honest im not sure if you saw the set up last year? some of it is being kept the same or very similar and the rest is being changed and more stuff added on ect :) setting everything up today so any special requests guys?
