Friday on my mind.

Another whirlwind work week, which followed a jam-packed thousand mile weekend (Tucson and back, if you must know), and here it is:

Friday.

I swear if I don't ride every weekend, I can get downright irritable. So today, AFTER work, the routine: It's time to get the bike in the driveway, ride up and down and around and the front yard rock, the curb, practice some hops and stuff with the skateboard kids on the street. Then get the thing ready for some actual dirt. Mix up some gas. Clean the air filter. Check the bolts, (especially the rear disc). Confirm the helmet is not too funky, and that the boots are tolerable. Gear bag packed. And then,

Wait for Sunday.

Who out there is feeling the same way? Seriously guys, let me know. If you're jonesing to ride, tell us about it. Use the comment link below and share. Get social, and then this weekend, get dirty.

That's a Wrap.

Well, the Jack Volder Classic is in the books. Cool weather, Great sections, and the rollicking good fun of the Timmy-Loop! Bill Bliven took it to the boys in Advanced, Rich Delaney pulled out some of the old school magic to win Clubman, and Carlos Johnston returned to form to top the 12 man field in Intermediate.

A little rain, a LOT of fun, and another great weekend of trials. What football playoffs?

More details of course as they come in...

Next up is McCain Valley, brought to you by the San Diego Trials Riders. Make your plans now, my friends.

time to ride!

Step right up, folks! Section Master Tim and his faithful set-up crew*, have been busy this oh so harsh winter (ha!) scraping, clearing, carving and creating the sweetest loop and bestest sections ever out at our most fave venue, Romoland! 12, yes that's TWELVE, sections, three loops, of sublime SoCal trials perfection. So sign up, gas up, and get your trials on, out at The RomoDome. Sunday, 1/15.
Spectators welcome, and of course, free as always. Voted best weekend escape in, well, my vote anyway.
All hail the TimmyLoop.
Did I mention, a dozen sections? That's 20% more than our regular trials. Such a bargain. Be there.
*Faithful crew would be Gabby, Mike, Carlos, Zac, Chris, Ty, Paul, Damon and countless others. Thank 'em when you see 'em.
Feet Up,

Got Goosebumps?

I do.

Or did, at least, as I watched this video, full screen. Real live shivery goosebumps. Great camera work, super slick editing, and oh yeah, the best riders in the world, riding some killer terrain.

If you can, go full screen: it's that button on the right. And get your trials on!

PS: We'll see YOU at the Jack Volder Classic!

I'm getting jacked up for the National, I'll tell you that much.

Happiest Wishes of the Season..

Hi all, I cannot beleive the end of the year is upon us. But it is, and I would like to take this opportunity to say I hope your Christmas was warm and filled with friends and family and joy. And of course, Happy New Year! So... If you are looking for a great way to participate, and to start the new year right, come on out to Romoland this weekend for some section and loop set up, both Saturday AND Sunday, 12/31 and 1/1. Romo map on the left side of this very page.

And speaking of New Year traditions, my dad would always ride with his buddies on New Year's morning, riding the trails and tracks up to the top of Saddleback. As I, and then my brother Kevin were old enough, we got to join in. This would be about '77 - '80.

Yesterday, my brother and I had a superb day of riding at Romoland. You could not have staged it better; a full 'On Any Sunday' kind of day (I reference the final scene from the film, mind you), complete with Steve McQueen's step-off endo from the end of the film, re-enacted by Kevin. Big rocks, perfect PERFECT weather, and time with family and bikes. Not a bad day. The end of the year tradition lives on. May you all have a Happy New Year!

Standings and the Timmy Loop.

We now have the captial O-fficial standings, as of Round 4. The competition to date has been pretty fierce, and our rider count is moving up! Kind of makes me feel good all over. We hope to see you, and your dirt biking wanna-be trials riding friends at our next epic event, also at Romoland.

But.

Allow me to say this:

The next Romoland is different. Funner. Loopier. More wiggly even. Because the next event at Romoland features the magical ride on...

The Timmy Loop! Yes. If you rode last year, you know exactly what I am talking about. Just the goofiest, rollercoaster thrill ride of a loop you will ever encounter, that's all. And the sections are pretty dang nice also.

We'll be seeing you there!

This Just In...

Ride Romo? Yes you did. And the results- we have them, right here! Download them now, and start talking big. (Unless of course, you finished last, like your humble web guy). Oh well, maybe next time.
