This Open House will allow all our friends and fellow club members to see what we've been working on this year and hopefully introduce Trials to some perspective new members.
It will also count as a R&T Club Work Day, so if you need to get one in here's your chance as we plan to build a couple new sections early Sunday morning and clean up some trash..All before lunch.
Then, Oct. 27 , AMA D6 will be holding their final round of Trials at Rausch Creek. Please plan to attend. More info on the D6 Website.
News at Maryland Mototrial:
Dan Barrick has expanded his Trial Exclusive Business to now include Gas Gas Trials Motorcycles..
Along with the already popular Sherco and Beta brands, he plans to provide Trials riders with the latest machines on the market.
He also plans to continue with the schools at the "Barrick Trials Ranch" and offer support to area competitors on the local level and the National Level.
This year, he signed Sherco rider Jordi Trey and helped him land a support ride thru Sherco USA/RYP.
And just last week, announced that Scott "Shake" Merrick has signed with Beta for 2014 to ride a 2014 300 4-stroke under the Beta USA / Maryland Mototrial banner.
Dan says, " We are really excited to be able to arrange these support rides and help up and coming riders anyway possible. Jordi and Scott have exhibited outstanding performances and finishes all year and we love having them on our team."
We also plan to add one more rider to the team on a New Gas Gas and are accepting applications / resumes..
Speaking about New Bikes, as the 2014s arrive there are a lot of excellent deals on leftover 2013s at unbelievable prices. Call for more details.
I think that about covers it for October. It will prove to be an exciting month of Trials riding in perhaps the most beautiful time of year.
Please be safe, have fun and we will see all of you soon..
I was unable get the old avatars reimported. Regretfully, you will have to upload your avatar again. Please report any issues here,.

Re: Trials Open House Oct 20th
Glad to see trials growing. I have been to the Ryan Young school that Dan has set up 3 times now and it is awesome. Attendance is always really good and you are seeing more and more folks get into it. Once you get the bike, it is a cheap sport. Tires every couple of YEARS and oil changes as usual and that's it! You don't get beat up and age really isn't a player here. It's more of a thinking game about line selection, proper clutch and gas useage etc. Lots of fun. Vintage trials is picking up as well!
Watching the young guys start to ride is exciting. Jordi is becoming really good. And then having Dan and his shop now, makes it really fun to hang out with the guys and go ride some cool places! Keep growing trials! One of the few motorsports that doesn't rape the environment and doesn't take large tracks of land to have fun and is QUIET! Even tree huggers can't crap on trials!

Re: Trials Open House Oct 20th

this just in
Fellows...
Due to all the rain we got this week, Johnny has decided to postpone the MAVT event in New Windsor MD.this Sunday and hold it on Sunday Oct. 20th.
This is the same date as our Open House..But seeing as we all ride MAVT and want to support Johnny , we've decided to reschedule,too.
So..The R&T club and Maryland Mototrial will back up the date of their OPEN HOUSE to Sunday Nov. 3rd.
