BikeTrial Federation Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hi everyone, Apologies for the lack of contact from us recently, both Barbara and I have been out of action with a broken ankle (me) and a bad cold brought on by spending hours in the rain at trials (Barbara). As I'm sure you're all aware, the final round of the British Trials Cup will take place on Sunday 23rd October at Shipley Glen in West Yorkshire. With the points being so close at the top of most classes, this is sure to be an exciting round, with the top riders in each class giving it their all to bag the all-important points needed to make the podium in this event and in the series. Who will take home the Cup this year? It's a fantastic venue as well, which allows for challenging, technical sections as well as some big moves, meaning that the event is a great one for riders and spectators alike. Entries can be made online or by downloading and sending the entry form on the events page: http://biketrialuk.co.uk/Events.htm. You can also check the points so far to see who you need to beat! We hope to see loads of you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'm going to try and make it to this, depending on how my appointment goes on Monday. Hoping to be back in a walking cast by then, so should be able to hobble about on the top at least! Should be a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Money is super tight this month with Joe's car dead (again!) and me with a new Mrs We are going to try our best to sort something, would be a shame to miss the last round after traveling so far to get to all the others. Really hope to see you there, but we'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I don't see why you couldn't just camp on the glen for one night. Could park the cars round the tents for wind cover and safety. Ill hopefully be there if I can get my bike together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a broken ankle two events ago so we are prepared for you!!!! I don't see why not! We'd have to look into the safety/insurance aspect of wearing kilts though - we might have to force you to wear trousers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to be real scotsman and nothing underneath, should make interesting pic report for the ladies! Insurance for the wee Sgian Dubhs (Go for it?) might be more of a problem.
