Scottish Six Days – Go Adrian, Jon, and Bert!!!!
5/8/2018
For some, this is a Bucket List type of event. How does 30 “different” sections every day with Day 1 being a 71 mile Loop sound or Day 5 as a 96 mile loop? For Adrian, this has been a way of life; Adrian managed to hook Jon Berlin as he’s gone back multiple times now. Check out the sighting of our very own PITS members out on the trail. Check out the official website for all the RESULTS and awesome videos of this spectacular event.

What a great turnout. This was our Largest Saturday turnout and another huge turnout for Sunday. It was a challenging trial as expected.

Cow Pile is next and that Sunday Loop is pretty incredible too, so if you haven’t been to Cow Pile in Petaluma, make sure you get there next month.

Wow…Burrows Ranch can really handle the deluge of rainfall it got all week. The weather cleared up just in time and made for a Great Trial. This was the weekend we were supposed to compete at Prairie City, which would have been a sloppy mess and no where near as fun. Kudos to The Bills for setting up during that week of rainfall. This was our Largest Turnout for Saturday and Sunday.
