TykeTrial Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) On the 11th and 12th June, the Tyke Trial club will open its doors to non-members for their famous annual two-day event at High Wood Farm, near Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire. This is an extremely popular event, with the Saturday seeing contests, activities, training and master classes, dinner, the club’s annual awards ceremony all followed by a bonfire, with a competition on the Sunday. This year’s event will be slightly different, not least as for the first time it will be open to non-members. Sunday’s trial will take a different format to the norm: riders in teams of four (one rider from each of the main classes – elite, expert/cadet, intermediate, novice/primary) will compete over two laps of eight sections to be the team with the lowest total score at the end of the day and take the overall win. Teams will go around together, in the hope that the younger or less experienced riders can gain from the experience and talent of the elite and expert riders. There will be some fantastic prizes up for grabs for the top three teams, with spot prizes to be awarded over the course of the weekend, so it should be a fun and competitive event. Riders can submit their own teams, provided that they stick to the one rider from each class format. If there are any teams who struggle to find a rider for every class, they can submit as many riders as they have and the empty class(es) will be filled at random from single entries, giving everyone the chance to take part in the team element of the competition! As usual, entries can be made online on the Biketrial Federation's events page, or by post by downloading and printing the form and sending it off. Entry for the event is £20 per rider, which includes riding on Saturday, camping, insurance, entry to Sunday’s competition and food and drink on Saturday evening. Entry to Sunday’s competition only is £10. Entry forms should be available soon; the deadline for entries is Thursday 9th June. Here is the schedule of events for the weekend: Saturday 11.00: Venue and sign on open 13:00 onwards: Burger van open for food and refreshments 11:00 – 18:00: Free riding – make the most of the fantastic natural sections that the venue has to offer(helmets must be worn at all times). Various contests (high jump, speed section, etc.) throughout the day Training/master classes/etc. 18:00: Burger van will provide food and drink for riders who have paid to enter the event. They will still be providing the usual sandwiches, burgers, etc. for non-riders and families and hot drinks will be available for as long as they are needed! 19:00: Tyke Trial 2010 awards ceremony 20:00 onwards: Free riding; Bonfire Sunday 08:00 onwards: Burger van open for breakfast 09:00: Control/sign on open 10:15: Pre-trial briefing 10:30: Team Trial begins 15:30: Sections closed 16:00: Awards ceremony Edited May 28, 2011 by TykeTrial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TykeTrial Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Hi Everyone! Brimham is going to be its usual fun weekend, and this year we want everyone to come along and bring at least one friend! Open to non-members so hopefully it should be a good social event. So very sorry it's taken so long to get the entries sorted, but we ran out of time to prepare all the entry forms, on-line entry etc for Brimham, too busy organising the two-day in Fort William! Anyway, as its next weekend, please read all the information here, then simply send us an email to info@biketrialuk.co.uk to let us know that youre coming, and how many riders are coming with you, also how many guests youre bringing (ie mums, dads, brothers/sisters, girlfriends etc) (to help us plan the fun comps, prizes, and food). Then when you arrive at the event bring them all along to see me, to register and to pay (£20 per rider to include 2 days riding, camping, and food on Saturday night) (£3.00 per guest for camping only). The only hiccup is, if anyone under 18 is coming but without their parent, you need to print out this parental agreement form, get them to sign it, and bring it with you. All done hope to see loads of you there! The Tyke Trial Committee Edited June 2, 2011 by TykeTrial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TykeTrial Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 It seems that there's a problem with emails bouncing back from the tyketrial@ email address. We're looking into it, but in the meantime, please send your entries for the Brimham open weekend and team trial to info@biketrialuk.co.uk. Matthew - It would be great to see you there on the Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hessy Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 The weekend was brilliant. Was so relaxed and the rain held off till about lunch time today. Thank you to TRIALTECH, TARTYBIKES, TRIBAL ZINE and AIRE VALLEY CYCLES for providing some great prizes. Thank you BEN, BARBARA and the team of helpers.

Ben Swales Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks Jed Glad you enjoyed it! I had a great time, I'm almost glad it rained for the 2nd lap (although it would have been nice if it had stopped again for the presentations!), it made it more interesting! A huge thanks to Trialtech, Tarty Bikes/K-124, Aire Valley Cycles for the fantastic prizes that they provided, and to Barbara and the rest of the committee and all of te observers and helpers for all of their input! Next event is the 5th round of the club championship at Oakworth qQuarry on the 17th July - can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I really enjoyed it. Will deffo be attending the next ones for sure. Thanks to everyone who organised it and congrats Ben on getting that award at the end. My Mars bar was lovely btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevind Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Just a quick and big thanks to everybody for the weekend. Had great time and the boyz really enjoyed the fun and the comp. What a brilliant venue. Neil, sorry about the rain but we did okay for sun shine I think. Tourist rocks were superb as well. WEll done Ben on your award, only just having met you I can see it was well deserved. Hope my pictures are okay? See some of you at Bob Macgregor in August.

Ben Swales Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Glad it was worth the trip Kevin! The boys rode really well too :0) The pictures are all great, thanks! I'll be putting them up on the Tykes facebook this evening and publishing the Tribal Zine report in the next couple of days. I can't make the Bob McGregor trial in August (I'd have loved to - that place looks amazing). I'm supposed to be going to Bestival in September as well, but as I haven't bought my ticket yet I may, depending on how much interest I can generate with some of the other Tykes members, cancel that and head over the border for the Phantassie round. EDIT: Actually - scratch that! Just checked the events page and it looks like Aaron was right! It's down as the 8th/9th October. There's a Tyke Trial on the 9th, so depending on which day the Phantassie trial is, I may be able to make it without changing any plans!
