We are having a fun recreational hard enduro and sprint trials at Meriden Saturday July 31. $25 and all proceeds go to benefit the Nerden Camp. Camping is allowed Friday night. Come have some casual fun and support a good program for people with special needs. See information sheet below.
I'd encourage anyone who wants to ride to come to this event even if you don't want to compete. A $25 donation (the entry fee) is all that it takes to have access to our site and likely there will be some trials riders who can show you around or point you to some sections. It'll make a good practice day and you all know about our legendary terrain!
Reminder Sprint Trials coming up. Even if you don't want to ride the Sprint Trials, visit us, donate to the camp and practice on the Meriden rock for October 24th NETA trials.
Winner of 3 Trials Classes A, B and C get a number plate
Finishers get a survival sticker
Sounds interesting, AMA or NETA membership required ? Looking to try the Trials C class.
