Hi Everyone!
There was a great turnout, with 73 riders playing at the Red River Motorcycle Trails for Round 3 of the 2012 TX State Trials Championship! Trialsmasters Ray & Glen Roblin did a great job of setting some fun and challenging sections for our riding enjoyment (and the loop was awesome!)
Section-by-section results are posted here.
Hope to see another big turnout tomorrow for Round 4!
The CTTA was proud to host Rounds 1 & 2 of the 2012 Texas State Trials Championship at Emma Long Park in Austin this weekend.

We had a great turnout with almost 80 riders on Saturday and almost 90 on Sunday!

Hi Everyone,
Well, it was a wet one today at Emma Long Municipal Park in Austin for Round 1 of the 2012 Texas State Trials Championship… Yet, almost 80 riders braved the cool and very, very wet conditions.
Results for Round 1 – Revised (again…)
Corrections: 2 riders (Jim Byrne & Tom Batchelor) finished, both were erroneously marked as a DNFs and 10 points were added to their scores for missing the last section and one 4pt section (Don Hubbard’s 2nd ride on section 7) was verified to have in fact been a 3…
Sorry, but data entry errors will happen…
Revised again as I counted the number of cleans on the wrong row… FWIW, the spreadsheet we use to score has been updated to automatically count tie breakers, this should reduce the errors to near zero…
Tomorrow should be beautiful weather for trials. See y’all there!
The CTTA is very fortunate to have an Austin City Park to ride in. There is about 7 miles of hard trail at City Park, but, it also offers numerous creeks with limestone ledges and caliche ball bearings… terrain that is ideal for trials. The CTTA has been hosting Local and State Championship Trials events at “City Park” for more than 30 years.

We had another great turnout with 41 riders at Joe Miller’s in Jonestown! A BIG thanks to Joe for having us out to play on his beautiful property! BJ set 5 fun and interesting gate trial sections for our riding enjoyment – thanks BJ!
Results are here. There are two files – in one the scores are shown by class and by overall position, which ignores class.
Hope to see another great turnout at the final round on December 10th. This event will be a toy drive – your entry fee will be a toy – more info will posted soon.
Thanks again to Joe and BJ! It was a great day for playing on the trials bike.
