The OK Supreme Long Distance Trial, due to be held on 19th September, has unfortunately had to be cancelled.
The 2010 MGP Festival brings together four of the biggest two-wheel events in the Isle of Man’s sporting calendar: the Manx Grand Prix, which sees classic and modern racing machines competing around the 37.73-mile Mountain course used during the TT; the Two Day Trial; the Manx Classic Trial; the Vintage Motor Cycle Club’s Manx Rally.
Packing all that action into the festival, which runs from August 21 to September 5, ensures all visitors to the Island will be kept fully entertained.
The new website –
www.mgpfestival.com – includes information on travel, accommodation, entertainment and the Isle of Man, as well as dedicated sections for each of the four events.
There is also a video section, photo gallery, database containing information on MGP riders and, during the MGP Festival, reports, results and pictures will be posted online as soon as they are available.......
By Colin Bullock ROUND SEVEN of the ACU Events/TRW sponsored series saw the riders travel down to deepest Devon for the Rene Pearce Trial just outside of Torridge.

British Trials Championship Preview

Devon is the fantastic setting for this Torridge & District organised trial which contains a variety of hazards that met with the thumbs up from riders last year. The venue is once again Brousentor Farm which is situated at Peter Tavy, Near to Tavistock and the post code for sat Navers is PL19 9NA.

As usual with all of the Championship rounds in 2010 practise takes place on Saturday between 3 - 5 pm with the trial itself getting underway at 10am with the youth class being first off........

By Colin Bullock THE weather had been reasonably kind in the run up to Round Six of the ACU Events sponsored British Championship round and the ground was in excellent condition at Brimham Rocks. The first half of the course provided a number of cleans for many riders but the rocks got much more tricky as riders headed down the track to the bottom half of the course. For the first time since round One Jack Challoner was back contesting the series and he made an immediate impact with a stunning f....
