Continuing the 2024 Trials season, the Gawler MCC is set to host an exciting day of riding for enthusiasts young and old at Tungkillo this Sunday, June 2nd, with their Keep Ya Feet Up Trial. This event promises to offer a fantastic range of sections for experienced riders while also serving as an excellent introduction for those interested in beginning their journey in the sport.
This weekend’s event will feature the ‘Gate Trial’ format. In this format, each section has four gates, with each gate worth a set number of points. Riders can choose to ride any or all gates in any order, with standard trial rules applying for crossing tracks. This setup allows beginner riders to hone their skills, while seasoned riders can take on more challenging obstacles to maximize their points. However, there’s a catch: if a rider puts a foot down at any point in the section, they score zero points for that section.
Awards will be presented per grade, but with the overall glory up for grabs, riders will be pushing themselves to achieve the highest score possible. Complementing the buddy system run by the Gawler MCC, this event is the perfect opportunity for beginners to dip their toes into the world of trials.
With 16 senior riders and 16 junior riders scheduled to compete throughout the day, along with a host of non-competitive riders, the event will showcase a great display of South Australian trial talent across all abilities. This promises to be an entertaining day of competition and camaraderie for all involved.
Event organizer and Gawler MCC Club Secretary Chris Schultz said “It’s fantastic to see the sport continue to grow with a great turnout of riders taking to the course this weekend. The club has done a great job putting together some great sections to keep riders on their toes”.
With a great day already in the forecast, make sure you plan to head out for a full day of trial
s riding this Sunday from 7:30 am at Tungkillo. To get to the venue, the property will be signposted from the bottom of Tungkillo Main Street, heading towards Palmer. Best of all, spectator entry is FREE, so gather the family, come walk the sections and bring a picnic lunch to settle in for a great day of South Australian trial action.
