toneh Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 My advice for your first trial is ask and watch other riders , keep an eye on what lines they take You'll probably drop most marks on going the wrong way ( I still do ) And most of all have fun and enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Plenty of water and food,riding gear that'll keep the weather out,spare gloves,complete change of clothing to travel home in,Make sure bike is prepared properly and reliable,tools to allow simple repairs to be carried out.Dont expect too much of yourself,its harder and more physically demanding than it appears and brilliant fun .Stay with it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
