The Trials Training Center is hosting 2X World Champion Tommi Ahvala for a school on Friday, November 24, 2006 and Saturday, November 25, 2006. The cost of the class is $150.00 per person, per day.

The Friday class will be held for those beginner, novice and intermediate level riders. The Saturday class, will be held for the advanced to expert level riders.

These classes will be limited to 10 riders per day, so register for your spot today by contacting us.

The date of the Women's Camp has once again been changed.

It will now be held Nov. 24-26, the weekend after Thanksgiving. I hope this will work out for people travelling from afar.

Congratulations to ERE's Geoff Aaron on his 10th National Trials Championship!

This is an unprecedented accomplishment in motorcycle sports and one that will likely never be repeated.

Another special note of congratulations is due to Geoff on his recent wedding to Kerry Williams of BC.

We understand that they have settled into their new home in Colorado and are planning a busy schedule of trials demos and shows for the coming year.

Congrats and thanks to all the national riders on the TTC team for 2006! It was a great year and we'd like to acknowledge team TTC accomplishments in the AMA/NATC National Championships for 06:

Bruce LeRiche, Sherco, Pro class, 3rd overall

Brent LeRiche, Montesa, Pro class, 7th overall

Will Ibsen, Sherco, Expert, 2nd overall

Louise Forsley, Sherco, Women's Expert National Champion

Alex Bedley, Sherco, Junior National Champion (left photo; click to enlarge)

Mark Sturtevant, GasGas, Sr45, 4th overall

Rooster Killian, GasGas, Sr45, 7th overall

The team riders have been filling the air with the sound of bikes practicing, because we already can't wait for 2007!

Good news on the FIM Women's trials training camp! Women's World Champ Laia Sanz (photo on the right above is from the 2004 World Round in Duluth with US Montesa's Martin Belair) will be there along with U.S. Women's champ Louise Forsley.

The date is moved back one week from the previous scheduled time so as to avoid a conflict with Laia's Spanish nationals, so the camp will be held at TTC on Nov. 24-26, 2006.

Please spread the word, as we'd like to see a big attendance from the ladies this November. Read the previous blog entry below for more details.

p.s., the first round of the 2006 Women's Trial World Championship was last weekend at Andorra; Laia won easily (as expected), and Louise finished an outstanding 6th place, her best ever.

Sept. 14 update: The date has been changed to Nov. 24-26, the weekend after Thanksgiving.
