11/02/13 Time to start entering ...

A busy time coming up for trials competitions ... check out the events page for entry forms!

This coming Sunday, 17th February everything kicks off with the Crowthorne Club holding a pre-championship event at the ever-popular Hook Wood venue in Surrey (is this a chance to practice before April's first round of the nationals at that venue?).

The following Sunday, 24th February, the TykeTrial Club opens its year with their first club round at the famous Shipley Glen after a few concerns that they may have lost the venue. Don't forget to renew your club membership too!

Then on Sunday 10th March, a new venue at Burycliff Quarry, Elton (Derbyshire), and with new organisers we're hoping for lots of support for them.

The last competition in March is on the 31st when Crowthorne Club run their first round of the year at Radical Bikes in Essex.

All the entry forms are now available from the Events page. Please support wherever you can!

  Welcome to the Surrey Hills Cycle Club
  A new club is in the process of forming in the south - the Surrey Hills Cycle Club. At the same time, the popular venue of Hook Wood is being renamed "Surrey Hills Cycle Centre". Watch this space for information as it develops and be sure to support the new venture!
 
11/02/13 Shipley Glen is on ...
We've just received confirmation that Shipley Glen has been approved for the events. Please don't forget, when you're riding up there to pay attention to walkers and be courteous. We don't want to lose this venue!
 
31/01/13 Shipley Glen in danger ...

Sorry to all members of the TykeTrial Club that the paperwork hasn't gone out yet for the first round of the 2013 series. Regrettably, there have been complaints to the Council about all the bikes on Shipley Glen and that it should be stopped.

We understand that there is a by-law stating that cycles should not be ridden on the Glen, but TykeTrial HAD a special dispensation to run events up there a few times a year. Unfortunately it's all the practising every weekend that's brought on the complaints.

We are currently waiting for a final decision as to whether we will be allowed to run events on the Glen in the future before we can confirm any of the plans for the year.

Watch this space for more info.
