wiltshire_boy Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi there, Just wondered if anyone else is popping along to the above trial over the weekend. It's any bike, any rider on Saturday and then their normal classes on Sunday. It'll be the first trial i've ridden in 20 odd years so i thought i'd break myself in gently. It's a pity i can't stay for the BBQ and Bar though! Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiltshire_boy Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Cool, i'll be the one underneath the GG 280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiltshire_boy Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 That's a shame, but will no doubt cross paths at some point as we're (nearly) from round the same parts. I probably won't make Sunday, don't want to push it too much too soon with the bread-knife. I've got to break her into trials nice and gently too. Have a good weekend. Roy.

wiltshire_boy Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Hi Heath, Been popping on and meaning to reply but w**k keeps getting in the way. It was a bit damp just before the start on Saturday but dried out nicely as the afternoon went on. Felt strange at first to be doing a trial again after so long but it all came back (what little there was in the first place!) to me and i had a 'kin brilliant day. Only one course as it was a fun trial so i reckon there were a few clean sheets at the end including mine. Somerton sounds good - got a feeling that i used to ride down that way. Any more info on Somerton, Hawks or practice grounds would be excellent. Will email this too. Cheers, Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough_old_tlr Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Wiltshire boy - did you really get a clean sheet after 20 odd years? It was my first outing this year and really enjoyed it (apart from some of the queues). Any idea if all Golden Valley Trials are that good?

wiltshire_boy Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Hi ya TLR, well it was clean in my head Pretty sure i stayed feet up - there was a point where my foot got knocked off the footpeg but i was definitely through the end pegs - but then again i suppose i should have been clean really, riding a newish mono through sections aimed at outfits, schoolboys, beginners and trail bikes did give me a bit of an advantage. It was excellent day out and a really good way to get back into it, it's a shame i can't ride any more of their trials! How did you get on? The queues were a bit of a bugger but i there were a fair number of riders - i saw some guy with number 80 at least. From what i hear they are an excellent club and have some lovely bits of land.

rough_old_tlr Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hi Wiltshire boy, I think I dropped one, but don't know as haven't had any results, have you? I was quite pleased with only dropping one as I ride so little, but now you mention it I should be ashamed of myself as, yes it was aimed at trail bikes etc. Thanks for briniging me back to earth! Also, do you know anywhere to practise in the Swindon area (Purton actually)? RTWtrials - thanks for the club info. but not able to ride now until prob august - bloody weddings and stuff (mine) getting in the way!

wiltshire_boy Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 No results here either Stuart - not sure if they'll bother because it was a fun trial. One dab sounds pretty damn good if you were on a TLR! i'm struggling to find practice ground and the time at the moment. You're probably best off joining a couple of clubs, they seem to hold practice days. R2W - I hadn't spotted those, but from the regs in the TMX i don't think i can ride the Hawkes one though? Roy.
