We attended this on the Sunday, and were impressed by the way both the sections and organization went. &#8211; Hopefully we will see more for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/naramata-view.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/naramata-view.jpg 480w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/naramata-view-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Naramata-step.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Naramata-step.jpg 480w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Naramata-step-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Event #2 was the now well known Outlaw Trial, which returned to the Summerland location, and was organized by Jay Colley and Stan, plus other helpers, who managed to find some of the old loop on what turned out to be a very wet weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Riders-meeting-day-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Riders-meeting-day-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Riders-meeting-day-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3695.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3695.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_3695-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On to Trial #3 which was the popular Duff &amp;
