TykeTrial was launched in 1997, and set in the Yorkshire Dales with some of England's best rocks for riding trials.
Venues such as the world famous Addingham Moorside, known as the site of the first ever World BikeTrial Championship to be held in the UK, and the home training ground for World Champion motortrials rider, Dougie Lampkin.
Venues adjacent to the famous tourist attraction of Brimham Rocks, and the very popular Shipley Glen and Harden Moor, as well as new venues in 2009 such as Penistone Country Park in the famous Bronte country, and hopefully some more new venues for 2010.
As with most things worthwhile, the club is run by volunteers.

13/06/10 Update

A really good trial, thanks to everyone, really relaxed and friendly, no stress (except for the butty van not coming!) Everyone agreed it was a brilliant venue so no doubt we'll be there again in the future.

Results are now available (bottom right, or from Events page).

Next event ... the two-day at High Wood Farm, Brimham ... it's gonna be fun! But don't forget, pre-entry by the closing date is a MUST.

In the meantime, I'm off on holiday ... byeeeeeeee!

21/05/10 Update

New club newsletter added (bottom right) and entry forms for both Lee Quarry on 13th June, and the Brimham 2-Day on 10th/11th July.

There will be NO on-line entry for the Brimham 2-day so make sure you print out the form and send it by post with a cheque BEFORE the closing date. Remember, we had to cancel this event last year because of lack of pre-entries, we don't want to have to do that again! If you don't have a printer and need a paper copy sending, please email membership@biketrialuk.co.uk.

Hope to see as many of you as possible in Fort William on 5th/6th June - it really is a good event with loads going on and well-worth the trip. If not, hope we'll see you at Lee Quarry.

09/05/10 Update

Excellent day at Penistone today, many thanks to all. Great to have 3 brand new observers! Results now on-line. Look forward to seeing you all at Addingham next Sunday.

12/04/10 Update

New newsletter attached. Entry form now available for Penistone on 9th May. Brilliant day yesterday, thanks to everyone and particularly all the observers for coming forward so quickly! Hope to see as many of you as possible in Essex next weekend.

26/03/10 Update

New newsletter attached. Entry form now available for Addingham on 11th April.

21/03/10 Update

An excellent day today at Shipley Glen. Results are now ready on-line and will be mailed shortly with a new newsletter (not written yet) and your entry form for the next event. Don't forget to watch your email box or the post if you're a member!

Will write more when I'm not so exhausted!

PS. Everyone noted on the results as "Entry cancelled" had entered and paid for the February event but could not make it to the March one. They will all receive refunds over the next few days (unless we have been asked to carry the fee forward to the next event). If you don't receive your refund please contact tyketrial@biketrialuk.co.uk.

14/03/10 Update

Many thanks to everyone who has joined the club for 2010, we hope you like the cheaper email membership option. As soon as newsletters and entry forms are available they will be emailed to you by our new Membership Secretary - it's up to you to make sure you read them! If you change your email address, remember to let him know; he can be contacted at membership@biketrialuk.co.uk.

If you opted for the postal membership, newsletters and entry forms will be mailed to you at the earliest opportunity.

If you accidentally delete your email, or for some reason the post doesn't arrive, they can now be downloaded from the bottom right of this page.

Remember, it is your responsibility to know what is happening in the club, so keep checking this page.

It is also your responsibility to make sure you get your entry to us in time for events.

  • We will not accept entries on the day
  • We will not accept payment on the day
  • You must be a club member to ride
  • A one-off day membership is allowed only for riders who have never attended a trial before and want to give it a go before committing themselves
  • The membership list is now available from the bottom right so there's no excuse for "forgetting" your membership number!

10/03/10 Update

Good news ... after last year's cancellation of the 2-day trial at Brimham because of lack of pre-entries, the Committee has decided to give it another try. But it will be up to you to make sure you send in your entries. Make sure that as soon as you receive the entry form you do send it off this time!

We're made from true grit here in Yorkshire, with our youngest riders at just six years old, with their old-timer dads competing alongside them it makes for a fun family day out. (Mum carries the bags!) And it's not just the boys that ride, we have the ladies and girls riding too.
They start with us as youngsters, and keep going through to being a World Champion (at least for some)!
