ZHI_Chris Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 First of all ,sorry for my poor English.I have been Uk for one year. In the last year, I have met a lot of riders in UK. They are all very friendly. They helped me and we had some really good ridings.My first riding was in Cambridge. I met Joe in that riding. Also some other riders (I can remember all of them, but I can't remember their English names, it seems a bit difficult to me). I can remember Joe's name, because he took a lot of pics, and he's a good rider. Although we couldn't communicate very well, we had a good time. After the first riding, I felt that British people are very good, friendly; I would like to ride more with them.My first competition was in Hookwoods last April. Before that competition, I was worrying how can I go Hookwoods; because I was stay in Cambridge, there was not enough from Cambridge to Hookwoods by train. Then I got a email from Stuart, he said that I could stay at his home for the night before the competive. Biside that, he gave me a good dinner and breakfast, then drove me to Hookwoods. Thanks for Stuart. After the competition, I known that Stuart is the manager of EBTC. He have been riding biketrials for 24 years. Also, he have run the EBTC for a long time. In my opinion, he did a lot for biketrials. As a biketrials rider, thanks for Stuart again.I have been to lots of place for riding. Such as London, southend-on-sea, clacton-on-sea, chelmsford, brentwood, sheringham, cambridge and aberdeen. Thanks for all the people who helped me.Thanks for Jack and Matt, who helped me to find a hotel in Southend.Thanks for Adam, who always talk with me on MSN, and he showed me the route from my home to the riding spots.Thanks for Andrews Chai, who orfered my a bed and lead me to clacton.Thanks fro Steve, who picked me up from the train station.......Thanks UK, a good place for biketrials, there are so many kindly, friendly, gentle, skilled, excellent, fantastic riders.

Greetings Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well, I might just add that I felt the same after a London ride back in 2006. Really friendly people, great atmosphere and I'm not surprised all you guys ride so well. It's the fact you all push yourselves and help each other out with moves. If I got to ride with Chai and Staples more frequently, I'd be a totally different rider now. Quite an amazing community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
