As we head into the Easter weekend – we hope that everybody will have a great time – with family and friends – Obviously for our Trials family – this means the first ever Trial at Narimata BC – – It’s been sometime since we had a Trial in the OK Valley and some might recall that after about 20 years at Summerland, we decided to change our venue due to a concern about the land use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that – we moved to Green Mountain for two years ( A really great time) – but then Ross picked up the flag and has hosted the Outlaw Trial ever since, in the Shuswap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in the day – We put on a lot of Trials in the Valley – maybe 6 events every year – We began with a Trial at Bear Creek – starting by the cattle guard. – We even invited riders to give it a go on enduro bikes with a separate class. – National Trials, were held at East Kelowna, plus other locations – Barry Van As was a huge help back then and yes it took a lot of work – but the reward when you have people enjoy the sport is huge,.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was in 1987 that I got invited to ride with the lads from Summerland at this spot west of Town. – Suffice to say that this area got me hooked – The terrain reminded me so much of Wales ( except no brooks-creeks)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As many will recall from the the early days – the Outlaw Trial on the May long weekend, was the place to be. -We always had a good entry with about 60 plus riders from all over Alberta and BC – The campfires and social family gatherings were what I still think Trials events are all about – and perhaps a tad different from the enduro\/Cross Country race scene..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have mentioned before about the kids Trial we would host on a Saturday evening around the camp area – – This was a wonderful time and it would be nice to see this continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather forecast for the Easter weekend looks to be a bit unsettled, but we should see a good entry at the Trial – A big thanks to the South Okanagan group for putting this on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the last quiz – Adam Norris on the Yamaha – Only Neil Carter got this – and yes it was a tricky one – I was with Mick Andrews in Scotland – the year that Adam was leading after the first day and while we were in the bar ( where else?) somebody… Continue reading Thursday April 17th\/25<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8249"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8249"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8249\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8261,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8249\/revisions\/8261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
