robster Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi there,We we were thinking of doing a comp but there's just so many routes to choose from! And there's no guide on which to choose.Any help???Depending on your age and ability,Turn up to a comp and watch it and see what level you think you can cope with, every club will have a route to suit you, we have kids as young as 6 riding but we cater for world class riders and every one in between, so to sum it up.........Turn up and have a do.Good luck here are a couple of links for a bit of info......http://www.biketrialuk.co.uk/http://www.ukbiketrial.co.uk/http://www.ymsa-biketrials.co.uk/http://www.biketrialuk.co.uk/TykeTrial.htmJP.

And just another quick question, the easiest route is white isnt it? Thanks alot[/quotyes its white, if you have never rode in a comp befor then i say to all riders ride white the first time as its the rules and flags that take the marks then if you liked it move up to the next route which is blue on your next ride and work from there i think no higher than blue in the first year its a good place to learn.Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Whats your age ?? 17what size bike do you ride ?? StockHow long you been ridin ?? 2 YearsWere you from ??

AshleyB Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 if you feel that you can take on the blue route then i think go for it, the YMSA comps are run so that if you are having a bad ride on your first time out just go back to the control and ask to be put back down to the lower route no problem and carry on to enjoy your day but i think you will find lots of riders there that are willing to help you out hope this helps.Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
