Rich Pearson Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 UPDATE: MARCH 11THI regret to inform all of those whom it may concern that The Trial of Wessex is no longer anything to do with me after differences in direction between myself and the event organisers.I do not know if this means the trial has been cancelled, as I do not know if anyone has been found to take my place overseeing the event.Apologies to whom it may concern.Rich Pearson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Sweet, sounds like fun Do you need any sort of license to enter the comp?By the looks of things the event will be insured by the ACU which Andrei is sorting out, so you'll need a valid ACU licence, and that looks like the most likely path we'll be taking. But we'll let you know as things progressTop stuff, Ill come along even if i dont ride.Speed trial? Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Roach Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 For the first time over the Spring Bank Holiday, 24th-26th May 2008, up to 100 of the UK's top Trials riders will take part in what is already a very unique event on the British cycling calendar.Can anyone enter?

Will Arnold Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 this will be great!how are the 100 riders selected? is it first come first serve? or invitation only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yeh the top 100 riders thing is interesting...'Cos there could be an awesome rider who not many people know who would do really well but wouldn't be invited? Guess thats the nature of the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I feel the there may be a bit of a disruption of communication on the number of riders thing:In the meetings I've had with Pendragon I had to give what I thought would be an approximate number of riders that we could expect to attend. I said 100, as I've never been to a trial with more than 100 entrants but I've never heard of a trial in the UK which will be as big as this one.So, to clarify, ANYONE, OF ANY AGE, GENDER, ABILITY OR WHEELSIZE MAY ENTER AND COMPETE AT WHICHEVER LEVEL THEY WISH (within the bounds of health and safety stipulations which will be at the discretion of event organisers and my ultimate responsibility, pending insurance).100 was a guestimate, although we can easily accomodate for more, and we certainly hope to do so.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 he does mean anyone, the poor bloke was trying to persuade me to enter the thing! he's mad, but also a legend for getting something like this on the calender. i think the biggest thankyou we can give these guys is to enter and show the rest of the cycling world thats going to be there how big our "little" sport of trials is!
