I see that the Ontario club have a Trial today - they are using a preregister system and have 32 riders entered at last post. - Nice to see more Trials being held after the long Covid shut down. - The Trials 99 group also have a Trial on today at Squamish.
Interesting to chat on the phone to Stan yesterday, and hear that they were pretty lax with things at the Scottish - no restrictions at the Trophy presentation, with a large group crammed into the hall. - He was a tad worried as the next day he had cold symptoms - and was concerned he might get put in isolation in Glasgow - but everything turned out OK.
I’m sure he will have a lot of people wanting to hear about his Scottish adventures next weekend at the Outlaw Trial in the Shuswap. So far we appear to have a good crowd coming.
=====================================>
In Canada we talk about Pipelines and the oil industry - in the Trials World Pipeline means only one thing the great section at Kinlochleven.
And still on the Scottish theme - a nice pic of Harry & Wendy McKay’s youngsters on their Beta Trials bikes - Both are very good Ski competitors - ( They live at Aviemore just North of Fort William and one of the better Ski Hills in the UK)

A wonderful shot of the 4 cylinder AJS from 1938 - The Brits really did have it all, sad they threw it away.

The Podium at a Euro Trial - Beta and TRS - Haga on top.
