Not really a ride report, but.......

Guys think i mite of asked before but how do i find out when these events are on?

You'll find all the Long Distance Trials listed here http://www.eventdirectory.org.uk/
Can be done by any enduro bike, but prepare to be tharshed by old duffers on XL 185's etc!
We just treat 'em as a cracking trail ride with some optional tricky bit's on the way around.

'Normal' trials listed in the back of the T&MX, usually best done on a trials bike though

some of the boys over the club did the one in weston.was that the one you were at mate?

No, it was at Clyro and an absolute bugger!
Bit of a shambles though due to frozen ground and the river loads of sections were in being frozen solid! 75% of the entry (including me!) failed to finish a lap. The bloke who won the twinshock class dropped 106 points rather than the normal 10ish!!

Cheers

Ps who else on here try thier hand at this trials caper??

yeah me, done 20 mins on my mate gas gas 250 the other day, feck that.....

recked my arms and hands...enjoyed it though...love to have a go on the old stuff one day.

I know what you mean!
An average trial takes about 4 hrs, and i'm more knackered after than a very long hard day on the CRF.
Needing all the exersize i can get, is a good reason for doing it.
If you can get hold of that GasGas, come and ride up and down tha Black Mountains for a day, it'll beat that game machine thingy for fun and sweat!

Cheers
