pitley Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) Vincent Look at the TC calender to see if theres any classic events on in the midlands. There are plenty of clubs catering for twinshocks. Or get TMX which is out every thursday (is where i live) or friday at your newsagents Check out the regs page at the rear for up and coming events in your area Happy Trialing Edited January 28, 2007 by pitley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Look out for Stourbridge club trials, usually in the Kidderminster area. They are excellent for riders wishing to have a less testing ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 No dedicated twinshock events or classic events that cater specifically for twinshocks in the Midland Centre as there isn't a dedicated following unlike other areas of the country but that doesn't mean there are no trials to ride your bike in. You can ride it in any trial that has sections of a suitable nature, essentially any club trial and you'll always find a few other twinshocks at them. Most ACU or AMCA club events will be suitable and if they don't run a twinshock class it doesn't matter, just enter as a Novice/Clubman/Over 40 - whatever you are and ride it on the course that suits you. Some clubs run 2 routes, some run 3, just pick the one that suits. For a bit more of a challenge, the AMCA do a 50/50 'clubman' route where you ride a mixture of routes, the easiest of the harder sections and the rest on the easy route. As has been mentioned, Stourbridge trials are of a gentle nature and good for pre65 and twinshocks and there is one coming up in a few weeks near Kidderminster so may be a good idea to go and have a look. They are always on Saturday afternoons or Bank Holidays. If you want to venture out a bit there is the Peak Classic club in Derbyshire, Herefordshire Classic, Border Classic (Oswestry area) Wilts and Dorset (but good luck to you in getting an entry there...) Golden Valley Classic (Bath and surrounding area) Bath Classic and maybe a couple more I've forgotten. If your're road legal with it there is the Sammy Miller Classic bike championship that has a twinshock class and all events are single or 2 lap trials and offer a good ride around roads and green lanes rather than 10 sections in a field. It's a national championship so the events are spread out but the sections are generally quite gentle and laid out more for pre65 bikes. All of these clubs advertise their events in TMX so get a copy and look through the regs available at the back although you'll usually have to look on the AMCA's own page for details of their events, they're not always in the regs at the back. There is also the calendar on this site for what's on. Main thing is to get out on your bike and enjoy riding it. Whether it is in a twinshock trial or a twinshock class is not important. Enjoying riding it is and there are plenty of events out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
