laird387 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Hi, Lady riders have actually had quite an impact on trials riding - and rightly deserve credit for taking on the men in what was oft regarded as very much a man's world. Some of the one's that spring to mind are Jill Savage, a very competent trials rider and not afraid of having a go at scrambling in the summer, who, when she retired from active riding, became a very efficient and active organiser for the Association of Pioneer Motor Cyclists - but she was by then known by her married name, Jill McBeath. Another was very influential as the Secretary of the Auto-Cycle Union, Mary Driver, who was a competent trials rider and made sure that trials representation within the A-CU was kept fair. I'm attaching an image from my offroadarchive of Pam Barwick, riding through a real mud-plug of an event in Wiltshire in the late 1950s on her 'Bitsa' built up by her husband to be, Cliff Bean.
