trials26 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hi all, This may / probably has been done before I don't know, no harm in having a go anyway... I'm personally a big fan of natural trials myself... After riding today I thought it might be good to put a free - all welcome (not so much a comp) but an event on? I suppose similar to a jam you may find in Bmx scene but a trials jam. - nice and chilled and relaxed so.. To start, theres a couple of "natural places" in Doncaster, in the Sprotborough area - if you want to google map it, various routes from riding over tree routes to bigger rocks, to mossy bigger rocks - appeal to all levels and fancy of riding. I was hoping to get some interest - set-up some sort of sections / routes? Not have so much as a formal comp but a gathering of riders, tackling different sections and maybe for a bit of fun come up with a points scheme? (suggestions on this welcome) throw in some UCI rules? i.e. section done all on one wheel = bonus, maybe win a box of chocolates or something? I don't know - open to suggestions and critiscms!! Would be sweet if people would be prepared to travel a little? I'll post pictures up of the area in question to get more interest this weekend or next? Aiming for a calendar date of: 17th April? I know its a way off but gives me time to organize some sections / routes? So this may be utter dribble? or may be worth a shot? Please let me know Thanks Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M S/c Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 We'd be well up for this as we are only at Dronfield . Your suggested date is not good though as the 17th is the 1st round of British cup at brimham near Harrogate. Choose another date that's free and we are there. (10th is only free Sunday we have in April) Jam format sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials26 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hi Robin Thanks for getting back... Didn't realise that date was the Brits.. Should have checked really! Well 10th I wasn't free - but shall we aim for that? (if its a more suitable one for people) or, may seem a way off, but early May? that any good for you guys? like I say.. Might be worth aiming for 10th? How many guy's coming from your way? Thanks again, could be really good fun this - I'm by all means not the next best thing to hit event organization but thought itd make for a nice theme as most rides arranged tend to be street based, and you only know of good natural spots if you live in the areas Cheers buddy Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials26 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Excellent its looking like the 10th April up to now then.. it will be near sportborough - just outside of, easy to get to from M18 on to the A1 on google maps: DN5 7NB is the location, I'll work on a clear set of directions and have a scout for somewhere safe and adequate to leave cars etc, there is parking near the quarry / natural bit but only for about three cars so I'll find somewhere a little better, mind at ease for us. There's plenty to ride at current but i'll take some garden shears down and try make a path over some more! Keep you posted on details / advancements! looking forward to it...

Matthew_Gibson Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'll get the day off work. make a weekend of it, I have family in scunthorpe so can stay there saturday. If its a jam sorta thing. Could do a section in each route from beginner to expert. and see where we fit in. mini comps like biggest gap, etc just as a bit of fun. travellinbg down from west cumbria and back in one day is a bit much.. doable though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent, and some good ideas too - I like the idea of the mini comps that's a good idea! I'll have a scout this weekend, maybe take some pictures so people have an idea! Really looking forward to this... As promised before I'll pop details up, suchas parking etc. Thanks again Can't wait Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunni Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Im up for this, especially being a trials rider in Doncaster, I'll spread the word around the Donny trials lads. 17th sounds a good date for me and probably all the lads. Count us in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 16th n 17th is the big cleethorpes ride... 10th would be good =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunni Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I definately can't do the 9th or 10th, 23rd/24th is good for me though but 17th would be the best in my honest opinion. I'd much prefer to ride the quiet donny quarry rocks than cleethorpes especially with it being a summer holiday tourist place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 There'll be room for both of you, no arguing (or I'll turn the car around and take you home!). Still waiting on news on this - any more idea when it'll be? There's a national at Brimham on the 17th, which I'll be going to, so if it's then I can't make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
