Robwalker Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Unfortunately with trials not being as big as other cycling disiplines such as MTB or Road, there isnt the same kind of club enthusiam just like it... yet. And as a result british cycling havn't quiet caught on yet, so the support for clubs isn't really about. As oppose to being local trials clubs tend to be regional, as has been said, Hampshire bike trial club (HBTC) is your most local one. I'm struggling to find a website for them though, all i've found is a facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=6064097114). I think the guy you need to speak to is Michael Graves. If not him he'll definitely point you in the right direction. Im not sure if he's a member on the forum, but probably have a better chance sending him a message on facebook. Good luck getting into the sport! (its a pricey one though! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry26rims Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Do It! I started riding trials 2 and a half years ago and starting comps this year sped my learning progress up quite considerably. There are often local street rides around Dorset too, these are good for getting to know other riders in your area. I'm from Bearcross so Poole or Sandbanks are regular training grounds for me.
