A great, if challenging, day was had by all on Sunday at the first round of the British Trials Cup at the Surrey Hills Cycle Centre. The sun shone for us and loads of spectators turned up to watch some really good riding. Thank you to everyone taking part and well done!

Hope to see you all at the next round at Bracken Rocks in Derbyshire on 5th May.

The Events page, UCI page, and Nationals page has now been updated with all new information from British Cycling, UCI, BIU and EBU and with changed dates for International events.

The entry form is now available for the UCI World Cup events and for the UCI Youth Games - if you're planning to go to World Cup events, get your form off as soon as possible!

British Cycling has now released their selection criteria for the those hoping to attend the UCI World Championship.

Good luck to anyone travelling abroad in 2013, we hope you bring lots of medals back to the UK!

New trials organisers for the TykeTrial Club, Robin and Gill Morewood, organised their first Biketrial competition yesterday at Burycliffe Quarry in Derbyshire - unfortunately, snow appeared overnight putting loads of riders off in the bitter cold, but those who stuck it out through the trial had a really good time ... well done to you all!

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!

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.

The 2013 Events page is now live and with some changes - please note that dates have been taken from various websites and may be subject to change - check out each organisations' own website to confirm their up-to-date details.

The British Trials Champions of each class will be those riders who have accumulated the most points throughout the cup series - best 5 rounds out of the 7 to count. Good luck everyone!

BEWARE! Entries will NOT be accepted on the day any more, all Nationals will be pre-entry only by the closing date.

Overall, we are trying to raise the importance, the profile and the success of the biketrial sport for the future. The more people who come along and enter events, the better it will get for the future!
