What a great start to the 2014 State Series!!! The event was held in Austin at the Emma Long Motorcycle Park.
A big thank you to everyone that braved the wacky bipolar Texas weather! Those that arrived on Friday to help set up and camp endured below freezing temperatures all day.
A special thanks to Mitch Ely and Jon Penner for signing every body in, doing AMA, and keeping score, Tomas Pantin for setting tarps to block wind, and supplying the heater, and to all the trials masters listed below
John Armour and Neil King put on a great Round 1 on Saturday. The morning riders had to endure the cold temperatures, but by the afternoon it was hot. Some even got sunburned. The “Jack Hammer Loop” was long and very challenging. So much so that the morning riders had to have time extended. Thanks to Tomas Pantin and Nora de la Fuente for marking and taping the loops. No one could get lost with all that tape.
Sunday’s Round 2 was just as exciting. Thank you, Mitch Ely and Bobby Reece. The loop was much shorter and followed the creek bed. It was rocky, but not nearly as abusive. Everyone was pretty sore and worn out from Saturday so Sunday was tough. It also got warm very quickly. The morning sections were fun. The Master riders were really put to the test and they all fought hard.
It was nice to see some new people show up and always great to see the regular Trials families. A wonderful time was had by all. We were glad to see that the “threat” of bad weather didn’t keep anyone from showing up.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the next event in Bridgeport on March 8th & 9th.
Happy riding and keep your feet up.
