SCHEDULE CHANGE !!
ATTENTION ALL RIDERS. One of the National events got scheduled at the same time as our 4/21 El Trial / SCTA final weekend. We have had many hard conversations about this as there were no good alternatives but we have finally agreed and moved the event to May 17th. It will be a one day event. Availability of volunteers and putting on a good event for you, our local riders, were the priorities to pick this date. Amend you Calendars and We look forward to seeing you there. This banner on the events page has been updated.

Official Results Announcement
Hi Riders !
Well Round 1 is in the bag and the Official results are now posted. Thank you for your patience as they were tabulated with new software so it took us a few extra days and the final formatting is a little different. This is good news. Why? because with this new software we will be able to score events LIVE once I get the whole process dialed in so official results will be available by the time we do awards at the end of events! No More waiting !! It will take us a few events to get all this sorted so bear with us. The results, as always, are under the events tab, so go check them out !

2025/26 Work Parties Posted in SCTA Calendar
If you’ve ever ridden an SCTA trial, you probably have a decent idea of how much work it takes to coordinate and produce the event. It’s a lot. And the day of is only about a third of the work. The other two-thirds is the set-up on the days and weeks before. Laying out the loop, selecting areas for sections, clearing brush in those sections, setting the gates, etc. And then there’s all the permits and insurance and porta-potties and trophies, and, and, and…
It’s a LOT of work to put on a trials event. And we need your help. Everyone’s help. Please come out and support SCTA trials by volunteering your time at a work party. Aside from helping set up the event, the work parties are actually a pretty fun day and you learn a lot about trials riding strategy by setting up the sections.
Dates for the work parties for the first few rounds are posted in the calendar. Please do your part this season. It takes a village…
If you have any questions, please contact these folks:
Round 1, Plonkers: Lior Elbaz
Round 2, Vote: Chris Cullins
Round 3, SDTR: Rick Jenkins
SCTA appreciates your support!
