Course: The course is wholly on private ground.

Dead Easy Trials are aimed at absolute beginners or club/novice riders who for a variety of reasons find riding a normal club trial a little too challenging.

Equally some experienced riders compete at Dead Easys because they simply enjoy riding their bikes on a Saturday afternoon with their mates in beautiful locations regardless of how easy it may be for them.

So all are welcome, with a typical spread of ages from four years to over 80!

The sections have two routes, the Dead Easy route is just that, and loss of marks obviously depends on many factors but a more experienced beginner would expect to lose no more than five marks, but don’t be downhearted if your score is higher, for many this is their first venture into trials.

As riders gain experience, a natural progression is to the Harder Route.

The Harder Route is designed to be easier than a typical club trial clubman route but more challenging than the Dead Easy route.

Again, it all depends on experience but the aim should be to lose less than 20 marks.

Younger children on electric bikes are welcome. It is a good idea to bring spare batteries if you have them although we do allow electrics to ride the sections in groups rather than have to traverse the whole course each lap.

So come along, enjoyment is what it is all about, club officials will be on hand to give help and advice and a warm welcome is assured.

Method Of Marking: TSR22-A Stop permitted.
