hrc1 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Which one? Creuse or Aveyron. Which route do you ride here & can you hop/bounce the bike about easily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickerlias Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Sardent-Creuse. Can hop bike about a bit. Ride hard course in local trials and intermediate course in Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Nigel Dabster's the guy to speak to. He's ridden it a few times, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuhrc Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Nickerlias.......Where/how did you get the regs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munch Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 you will want to ride s3 its plenty tough with long dusty rides in between sections you need to be road legal too . acu will sort out licence and risk insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 S2,s have fairly big steps but if you can ride middle course at nationals s3 could be a tad easy. Beauty is you can chop and change course if ness. Whats your best result and where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta_uk Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 when is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc1 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 S3 (Senior 3) is the route that requires no trick riding. if you ride S2 you need the ability to hop the bike fluently, also features bigger rocks with shorter run up. Would suit Novogar riders? I've ridden out there for 19 years now & only ever required a normal ACU licence. These days I find the other French trials a more interesting experience. The Creuse event has gone downhill since they stopped transporting your petrol and went over to 2 lap days. Dates of the French "classic" trials: 10/04/04 to 12/04/04 3 J DE TRIAL EN INDRE - LA CHATRE 20/05/04 to 23/05/04 LES 4 JOURS DE L`AVEYRON SAINT GENIEZ D`OLT D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrc1 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Same section in 03 & our Mr Foord has less success. They gave no run up that yearso a jump was not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc1 Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Finally here is a famous lady rider failing an S2 section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Have to dispute the down hill bit I find the figure of eight system works really well and you get back to the van a couple of times to refuel and spares etc. More personal choice I guess. Linda Meyer does the S2, which is nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
