This years Classic Christmas Trial and Prize Giving was combined with a 2 day Charity Trial raising funds and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. The 2 day trial was proposed and run by Brent and Shirley who put in a lot of work. The sections were excellent on the Saturday and then we moved to Robs place at Leithfield for a camp out Saturday night. Activities included a ride down the river to the local hotel before tea. Sunday our numbers swelled as more riders joined us for the last Classic trial of the year. Some tight sections on the Sunday gathered a few points, then we sat down to an excellent lunch cooked by Peter with some help from family. Prize giving followed bringing to the end another year of classic trials. Thanks to Brent and Shirley who set the sections both days, Peter for the lunch, and Trevor for leading the rabble all year. The weekend raised just under $780 for Cystic Fibrosis which was a great effort given the number of riders. Maybe other trials groups in NZ could consider running one event for charity next year. Looking forward to riding trials again next year.
Great weather and a turnout of 47 riders for the Cust Re-Union Classic Trial held in April each year in Canterbury, New Zealand, near the old Cust racing circuit. Thanks Brian and Dave for the excellent sections (4 laps of 8 sections), Peter for the perfectly cooked sausages, and Trevor and Christine for sorting out scores and this years trophy winners. There were plenty of trophies and certificates with Pre-65, twin shock, and air cooled mono
each offering 3 lines. Thanks for another great day of classic trials in Canterbury.
The first post lockdown trial in Canterbury attracted 48 riders to Cust in the South Island of New Zealand. The event is normally held in April but due to the lockdown was delayed until June. This meant a frosty start and the ground was damp, but a set of excellent sections were enjoyed by all.

The annual Greybeards Trial was held in wet weather for the second year running. Persistent drizzle didn't dampen the enthusiasm of riders assembled at Travis's farm in North Loburn. The Greybeards competition is for riders over 40 only, with bonus points awarded the older the rider is. Our oldest rider, Dick, at 78 years easily won the Bob Harris Memorial for B grade riders, while a more youthful Brent won the Harley Cup for A grade. Although not competing, it was good to be joined by a number of younger riders also trying their hand at the sections. Thanks to Peter who set up the BBQ under a tarpaulin, and Dave, Peter, and Christine who set the excellent sections. After the last two Canterbury trials having damp weather, we are hoping for fine conditions next weekend for our last trial of the year. Enjoy the photos
Despite weather warnings and gloomy forecasts we had a spectacular warm winters day at Waipara in North Canterbury for our August Classic Trial, with the rain not arriving until we were home and had the bikes cleaned. Thanks to Trevor and Wayne for setting the sections which were enjoyed by 35 riders. Thanks also to Peter for sausages from the BBQ, and
Lynette for the camera work while I rode. Enjoy the photos.
The first Classic Trial in Canterbury for the 2022 year was a non points scoring event so many chose to get some practice on their modern bikes and try some of the harder lines. An overcast start turned to showers as we held the riders briefing then cleared for the first round, rained for the second, then stayed fine but still overcast until we finished. The excellent sections included some tight turns with short approaches onto trees and banks for the upper grades. Good to see Bodie out on the newly purchased Oset, and Kendall and Hamish providing some entertainment taking the sidechair through the sections.
The first of two classic trials in May was held at a great venue about an hour north of Christchurch. The venue offers superb views across the sea back to Banks Peninsula. The terrain is hilly with grass banks and limestone. This is the third classic trial at this site but last time we were here it was extremely windy to the point most didn't finish the trial. I suspect this is a site that always has some wind, but yesterday the sections were well placed and the day ended up quite warm. Quite a number managed a clean round with Kahu and Kendall staying clean all day. Thanks to Trevor, Wayne and Bo who set the sections for the 30 riders. Welcome to another Trevor riding his first trial with us on a KT, and thanks to Peter who always runs the BBQ and kept us in sausages after the event.
Another great autumn day in Canterbury, New Zealand, saw 33 riders on a range of Classic Trials machines head to Loburn to ride four rounds of nine great sections. The sections included climbs, logs, creeks and banks which claimed a few points off most of us, though some excellent rides saw a couple of rider finish the 36 sections with 35 cleans. Thanks to Peter for the BBQ, Travis for use of his property, and also to those who put in the sections. The Classic group has a couple of regular competitors who travel some distance to ride with us. They are now joined by Alistair who traveled from Dunedin to ride, and from the results had a good day. Enjoy the photos.

First Trial for the 2022 year was the Twilight Trial run by Pioneer Motorcycle Club on the Port Hills above Christchurch. Run mid-week after work 18 senior and 5 mini riders entered the event. Great to see some new riders amongst those present. An overcast start did turn to reasonable rain for most on the last lap, or last two laps if you were at the back like me. Really good sections, thanks to Derek. Most photos are on section 1, and apologies as didn't quite get all riders. Looking forward to another great year riding trials. Enjoy the photos, and hopefully see you all on a bike this year.
