I fancy goin but not sure it willbe any good for Adam

Dave, Yes I'll help build sections. That date looks good. We don't have anything on that weekend. The only thing I can see on that weekend is a club trial down south on the sunday so the Monday should be good for entries.

Dave Any chance of a third route. Adam would love to ride but I think a second route would be too hard. Dates permitting we'll be up for all the events your running and we'll come and help with setting out and observing etc.

Here's a quick video of Adam made up of a few clips I have. It's over a period of about 7 months so you can see how he's grown and progressed. My link

I'm 42 and get out on my trials bike now and again. First rode a comp on a bicyle when I was 12 in 1981 and never lost interest for it after all these years. I bought the latest one to try and keep up with my son but at 9 years old he is kicking my arse bigtime. Still keeps me a bit fit though

One idea is to get the disk hot by riding around with the brakes on or finding a steep hill and go down with the brakes on slightly and then put cold clean water on so they steam and this burns the crap off. It works great on the motorbike and you regularly see the top motorbike trials riders doing this in the paddock at big events. It gives them some bite

Great trial. Well worth the 7 hour round trip. Big thanks to the organisers.

Cool. See you there

We probably coming now. What time you gettin there

And also the EBU European Championships in Sweden which is where I'll be with my son Adam. It's a shame it clashes as we would of loved to attend. We need to sort a team ride somewhere Adam! I might be at Lee Quarry on sunday if your about.

Might see you there Jed. Donna is keen again and got a new bike so she wants to go practicing sunday but we might all head up to Lee Quarry.

I know Charlie Rolls is also going now.

Dave Bradley has asked me to start a topic regarding the 1st round on the EBU European Cup that is to be held at Torredembarra near Tarragona on the 12th March. You'll need a BIU licence from Dave at a cost of £15 and forms can be downloaded from the Essex Bike Trial website www.ebtc.net The details of the event are on the Eurobiketrial.com website I have sent an enquiry to the organisers to see if individual entries are accepted or whether a list from the UK team manager is required. Adam is riding and as far as I know Scott Wilson is also. Anyone else going to make the trip?

Just a few clips of Adam practicing at Matlock Quarry.

Yeah, will try and put a couple of video clips up later.

Had a good day at Matlock Quarry today. Heres a photo of Sam Oliver definateley putting in some serious effort.

We definateley goin and Sam Oliver is going

We went last week but if there are a few going this week we can make it again.

Sounds great. Shame it's the same weekend as round 1 of biu worlds in Czech republic and uci youth world games in Belgium. That will mean a few good uk riders will be missing from both a good festival and will mess up their British championship campaign.

I'm goin saturday

Looks like it's at Joan Pons training school just outside barcelona.

Thinks it going to have to be Wednesday whilst the wife is at work. Also weather forecast says might be some snow wednesday night / Thursday morning.

Think I need to practice in private! We'll see I might dig it out.

Thinking of going to Matlock quarry on Wednesday or Thursday if anybody up for it.
