TykeTrial Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 The seventh and final round of the Tyke Trial club championship will take place in a few weeks, on Sunday 6th November. Although we had planned to hold this at Lee Mill Quarry, we are currenty looking into a venue change for this round, so although we want to make you aware of the event, and entry forms are available, please don't enter until we have confirmed the venue. We will let club members know by email (with an entry form attached) as well as putting the venue information up on the site. This is our last event of the season, so it would be great to see as many faces as possible before the winter break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TykeTrial Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 As specially requested by observers who were fed-up of standing in the wind and torrential rain at the top of Lee Mill Quarry, the final venue of the year has been moved to Branshaw Quarry at Oakworth, near Keighley. Ok, it rained there last time, but at least there is some shelter from the wind and it's not on top of the moors! And it's an excellent, ever-changing venue with big rocks, and sections for all abilities. So, even though it's late, get your entries off as soon as possible - you can enter online now from the events page. If for some reason you can't do it online or get it off in the post on time, please send your name, age and class by either emailing trial_entry@biketrialuk.co.uk or by text or call to 07850 505298. As a special end of year event, why not bring along a few friends to have a go at comps? For this last event there will be no day membership fee, and no charge for on-the-day entries (although please don't wait, do it now if you can then we can prepare). Hope to see you all there on 6th November! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hessy Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Was a good day, if a bit slippy and muddy!! Thanks to Barbara for making it happen, especially the extra effort in changing the venue. Was nice to see some new and old faces there. Looking forward to the next season.

planet-x-boy Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Really great day! Thought the sections in Elite were pretty much perfect, very fun and challenging and hard enough to give Carthy a few points. All in all, great venue, great weather, good crack, brilliant day. Big thanks to Barbara and everyone who made the day happen Brett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Glad you enjoyed it. The results went onto the website last night www.biketrialuk.co.uk, will do the championship tomorrow, and photos when people email them to me! Looking forward to planning next year!

Cap Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Was a good event, I wasn't quite used to the mud which is my excuse for falling off so much, still managed to have a good time. Cheers to all the observers and a big thanks to the guy that picked my bike off me on section 2 when I went flying, looking forwards to seeing the video of that!

Bew Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thanks to everyone that organised it!! was a great day!! roll on next season and see you at the meeting. no worries about picking bike of you, that was a nasty crash. Cheers bew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I also enjoyed it, it brought back lots of memories, I practically spent all of my teen years in some kind of quarry either competing or just having a good ride. I am happy with my win in Expert, I would have liked to have ridden Elite, but I don't think I could have got out of any of those sections, they would have been hard even in my full on competition riding like I used to be! Cap was entertaining! Thanks to Barbara and co for all the effort in organising these events! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAP Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Sounds like it was a great event. I've been to watch a couple in the past year. I noticed from their old results they had an over 30's class/award. Does anyone know if they still have this? I've never competed,but if they did, i'd fancy a go at dabbing my way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 We don't currently I'm afraid, we haven't got enough over 30's to fill a class. However, with a few of us pushing 30 and some of us already there, there might be one in the next couple of years! Unless you've got a few mates who fancy giving it a go next season?

bing Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Over 30's? Me having just turned 30, Like the sound of that. Beats getting my arse kicked by 13 year olds lol Edited November 10, 2011 by danchandler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAP Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks for the info Ben. Sadly i'm a billy no mates, when it comes to trials. Maybe a few 30+ riders will pick up on this chat and be tempted. Hopefully sooner rather than later... I'm nearer 40 so I may not have a couple of years... ..

Ben Swales Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Right, something to bear in mind! I'll bring it up at the next committee meeting and see what we can do. If we have enough riders, we'd be happy to do it, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAP Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Cheers Ben. That would be appreciated. I may try & rally a few potential contenders off here, if you think it's worth a try? Be good to get some older riders togeather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
