Anyone doing any trials riding ? Looks like the trials events are done for the year. Does anyone know of any trials practice rides coming up?

A have some sections at the farm in Carlisle. Will be a couple of us playing on trials bike Sunday as well as the woods loop. All novice level stuff. Pm me if you want directions. Also you are close to the cove...
That place is covered with trials stuff.

The Cove is a campround/hiking/Jeeping offroad facility in Gore Va. Never ridden my bikes there but have wheeled the Jeep there. In the mountains so there's lots of rocks from fist to Volkwagen Bug sized. There's some dirt but there's usually a tent on that.

Let me know if you want company at the Cove. I'm only an hour away from there, and I'm usually off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

If you're looking it up I think it's under MotoCove.

I'm usually off on Friday, Saturday and Sunday too :lol2: so might be able to join you at the Cove!

I'm only about an hour from the cove too. I can sometimes take off on Fridays and I don't work weekends... ;) I need to figure out how to keep my hands warm in cold weather (bad circulation)... Maybe I'll try some of the new fangled battery powered gloves.

I thought you wanted to ride trials...

OFG is probably the resident expert on the Cove. I've never been on the trails there for anything other than crawling. A lot of those rock crawling rock piles would be interesting on a trials bike.
