  Simon H. asked:

  Hi there. Ive had a bit of an unfulfilled ambition to go trials riding for some time (probably since kick-start was on telly in the 80's) and would like to come to watch the trial at Westwood on Sunday if its ok? I have had road bikes since the age of 16, and had the odd field bike before that, but off road riding in general is completely alien to me, so would like a bit of advice on bikes, ie what to get ,what to avoid , and what to spend (hopefully the answer to that is 'not much'). Ive also got to sort the practicalties of transporting the bike (bike rack?) and trying to stay upright once on the bike. Im fairly fit, but I guess balance and control are more important? Last question do you have any classes below novice, as I think I might be completely out of my depth. Anyway thanks for reading

  

  Andrew S. replied:

  Hi Simon, there are two series that BTC run, the one at Westwood on Sunday is the more difficult of them. You would be fine in the white route though on the novice and beginner series, check www.barnsleytrialsclub.co.uk for rest of year events. Sure there will be plenty of riders willing to give advice if you turn up on Sunday. All trials bikes are generally fit for purpose, ie sherco, gasgas, beta, montesa it's just a case of your taste in style and budget. Bike rack easiest if you don't have a van.

  Jordan A. asked:

  Hi, does anyone have a postcode for westwood on sunday thanks?

  

  Andrew S. replied:

  Hi Neil, you cannot get in from that side (with bikes) you have to go through tankersley go under bypass bridge and entrance is just there, think it's Westwood lane just before it goes into stores lane. There is a direction link on www.barnsleytrialsclub.co.uk
