_g_ Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Looking to get out to play on my new (to me) Beta. I know Ixion run trials not to far from me (I'm in Reading), but unfortunately their next one clashes with the south reading mcc H&H I was planning to do (both on a Saturday too!) SRMCC also runs one trial a year I believe, but that's some way off now! Any other clubs I should be looking at? - Of course also interested to hear about general places to practice.

bultaco49 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Try North Berks @ http://www.northberksmcc.com/ They have a practice session on 12th near Didcot. Also Mortimer Classics run 'fun' trials which are open to all. This is a ideal practice session on a good piece of land very close to Reading. Sections are marked entry and exit only. Groups tend to go around together and mark themselves on their own route. http://www.mortimerclassicmcc.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_g_ Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Excellent - very useful info, cheers! Think I'll try and head up on Wednesday evening for the practice - do you know, off hand, when it runs to and if it's ok to get there late? - Probably be about half six or a bit later by the time I've got home from work, then got the van out. Could see if I can leave earlier, but usually am busy Wednesday lunch times, so it's a bit cheeky to leave early as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bultaco49 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 You can get there any time though it can get a bit busy later. North Berks are a friendly and easy going crowd and some well known and expert riders practice there as Seymours Arena is purpose built for trials and the only rock steps in the area. I usually get there early and leave around 7pm but I suspect the site is open until much later/dusk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monoped Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Try and google any of these: Thames Valley Trials Combine, Normandy MCC, Alton MCC, Reading, Reigate & North Downs all have websites with future fixtures for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_g_ Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Cheers monoped - lots of useful details there. Only thing I couldn't find details on is 'Reading' - do you mean South Reading MCC by that? Unfortunately, as ever, searching for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_g_ Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Went to the Mortimer 'fun trial' today - nice selection of stages. Definitely be returning as it's just over ten minutes away from me! For the person who gave me some fuel - cheers again and it's 'seymors arena' with northberksmcc that was the trials practice area I was talking about. This is the trials practice place you were talking about I presume - http://www.theoldquarry.co.uk/ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
