The ACU have been in touch with the following information re C Class riders at this and future years Mintex Trophy Trials:

“The T & E Committee’s policy is that the Mintex Trophy Trial event should be open to A & B Class riders only as they feel it is not suitable for the younger riders.  As such we advise that there are no dispensations for C Class riders.  A and B only are eligible.”

We have, therefore, adjusted the entry form and you can download an updated form here:  Mintex Entry Form 2017

Apologies to those C Class riders who were hoping to ride this year, but it will be worth waiting for when you move up to B Class!

A bike stand was found at Saturdays Trial at Kidstones.  To arrange collection contact Sandra on: 01969 624146
