Round 1 of the British Trials Cup is on Sunday 12th April (next weekend) at Surrey Hills Cycle Centre (Hook Woods).

Round 4 at Bracken Rocks on Sunday was a pretty tough trial! Rain overnight had rendered the sections very slippery and difficult, so there were some very high scores on the first lap.

Big thanks to all of our series sponsors, TartyBikes, Onza Bikes, Trialtech & Trials King! There's a bit of a break before Round 5, which will close the series at Shipley Glen on Sunday 5th October.
