2026 PROVISIONAL DATES

Our Summer Series is sponsored by Acklams Beta & Harrogate Van Centre and we are so grateful to Paul and Joel for their continued support of this series.  If you are in need of a new or second hand bike or perhaps a van, you can’t go far wrong in paying a visit to them.  The wealth of knowledge they have is second to none and they are located in Killinghall.

There is a dedicated small wheels trial which is held two hours before the main trial.  The small wheels consists of 3 laps of 8 sections on 2 courses.  Unlike a lot of conducted trials where they ride the section 3 times and move on, we get them to ride the sections in laps.  This helps them to remember what they did on the previous lap and sets them up nicely for the Easy and Beginner Series, or the main trial when they are ready.

The main course consists of 3 laps of 12 sections which must be rode in order.  Due to the large entries we get, we do set riders off in groups of 10 to different sections.  This helps the observers and avoids queueing.

Neil from Riverside Quarry has kindly agreed to sponsor the Easy and Beginner Series for a 3rd year.  If you are in need of any garden related products, decorative stone or even aggregates on a larger scale, Neil and his team will be happy to help you find what you need.

We truly are grateful for their support as this series is enjoyed by young and old alike!  It is a fantastic way of either starting out in trials, honing those basic skills or purely just taking the chance to have an easy ride out with your mates.
