steviet Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Does anyone know if there are any Trials Clubs and Club/Public Practice Areas around the Glasgow area? I have a friend who lives there (Houston) and wishes to take up trials riding but to find out first before he buys a bike. thanks Stephen (nr Durham) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I hope I'm shot down in flames for this,having Trialed for 37 years in the East I can't name one rider from Glasgow. Dalmellington and Stevenson clubs are very active in the Southwest,Lanarkshire which really should be your local club seem to run trials anywhere but Lanarksire (tic) and the Loch Lomond Club really only run one Trial. Details will be on SACU site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naichuff Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Scottish classic racing trials ( see web site ) are also mostly in the west The lanarkshire club although the HQ is in Edinburgh the trials are all over (see web site) You could try the Bob Mc Gregor Academy run by Ian Shankie near Dunlop Was at a trial there last Sunday I think they have a web site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3rc0 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi Stephen, The Bob MacGregor Trials Academy is a great place to practice and is just outside Glasgow, near Neilston. There are several trials there throughout the year and it's usually pretty busy every weekend. There's also coaching on most Saturdays which suits most levels. Best bet is to get your friend to go along and have a shot of a bike and talk to some of the guys. The academy is open every Saturday and most Sundays. There's also a group of us who ride there every Thursday night and he is more than welcome to come along. You / he can get more info from the facebook page. Loads of photos etc included on there too. http://www.facebook.com/BobMacGregorTrialsAcademy Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme17 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Most Stevenston trials are within 30 minutes travel from Houston and as mentioned the Bob McGregor trials academy is an excellent practice facilty within 20 minutes travel. www.stevenstonmcc.co.uk Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
