Pioneer Motorcycle Club kicked off the 2021 trials year in Canterbury, New Zealand, with a mid week trial run after work and the trials park on the north bank of the Waimakariri River. A hot evening and technical sections gave all riders and bikes a good workout. Thanks to everyone who rode or dropped in for a look. Keep an eye on the club website for details of the next Twilight Trial and also the start of the Summer Series.
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.
Another great day of Classic Trials in Canterbury, NZ, as over 40 riders tackled 4 rounds of 10 sections at Kerry's Mt Thomas property. The sections had tight turns, roots, and slippery banks that helped push my score up. The top grade also faced some challenges, but some great rides were witnessed with some riders managing low scores for the day. It was good to see some new/returning riders and more riding the harder line. Thanks to Peter who managed the BBQ, and Kerry for the use of his property. Special mention to Alistair who drove to North Canterbury from Dunedin to take part, having a good ride now on a Fantic. 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.

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.

This is the second year our July Classic Trial has been at Broomfield in North Canterbury. The sunny day and blue sky came with a frost that left some sections frozen all day, while others were bathed in sunshine. Another great day on sections that took points off everyone, though a number of classes had close results. Good to have a couple of new riders join us. Thanks to Brent, Shirley, and Trevor for the great sections, and thanks also to the farmer for access. Enjoy the photos.
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 day of Classic Trials in Canterbury, New Zealand, rewarded the organisers with a good turn out to try their hand at the 4 laps of 8 sections. No frost which was great considering we are mid winter. I found the sections tricky, with some getting quite slippery once riders had completed a couple of rounds. Despite this the results showed some close scores and a couple of ties. Thanks to Brent and Shirley for the sections, Peter for the BBQ, Trevor who keeps us all informed, and Lynette for these photos.

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.
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.

After the February trial was washed out due to rain, it was great to have a warm sunny day for our March Classic Trial in Canterbury, New Zealand. The event was rewarded with 29 riders attending on a range of classic and modern machines. Straightforward sections with just a couple of sections in the trees responsible for my points. Thanks Travis for letting us use your property. Great to see Trevor joining pre-65 on his BSA for the first time.
