The PITS Property Work Party and Trials School is this weekend, July 26 & 27 (see flyer). |
| The PITS Donner Trial will be the 1st weekend in August (8/2 & 8/3) at Donner Ski Ranch. For more info, see the flyer. | |

July 10th |
We have the Hard Rock Trial and Grippy Granite Trial results now posted. |
| The PITS Property Work Party and Trials School Weekend is the next PITS "event." On Saturday, July 26, weather and smoke permitting, please plan to donate 3 or 4 hours to make improvements to the Property. It counts as a "club service day," and adds to your annual "worker" points. Multiple family members get to "mix and match" their individual points, for the most advantage to their family. (100 points and one family member can ride all the next year for free). With PITS not charging kids to ride the Saturday V-B events, hopefully trials can continue to be an affordable sport for the whole family.
Don't forget, if you get to the 10:00 am Work Party on Saturday, you get a discount at the Trials School the next day, (July 27th). There will soon be a flyer with all the gory details, like the Saturday evening, gourmet (and healthfest) dinner of chili and dogs. Please bring work gloves on Saturday (don't "waste" your expensive mc gloves). If you have implements of destruction, e.g., saws, loppers, etc., bring 'em. However, PITS has a bunch, so don't let not having your own implements of destruction discourage you from participating. On Sunday, our seasoned trials mentors will be available to help all levels of riders. This will be a great opportunity for local riders to improve their trials riding skills. Note - You must be a PITS member to attend the school. (You can join PITS at the school.) |

| The Gate policy at the PITS Property is in flux. We need to make sure the needs of all the owners of the parcels behind the gate are addressed, as well as our club's needs. Soon, there will be a more informative mail-out to all current PITS members. | |
| The Bear Valley Trial and the November event near Frank Raines Park may or may not be happening. And, one or both might be happening somewhere else. We'll letcha know once we know. | |

Our appologies for the dirth of web updates, but the webmaster's right arm hasn't been cooperating. However, the pinched nerve is starting to respond to therapy and hopefully is getting ready to allow the use of the right hand again. Howard and Scott have been soldiering-on with some updates, including keeping up with event results. Many thanx guys. |
| The Grippy Granite Trial is this weekend (tommorow and Sunday, July 5th & 6th). Again, sorry about this late posting. Dunno what to say about the smoke/weather conditions at the Property this weekend. It'll depend on which fires are still burning and which way the wind blows. And, it could be changable on an hourly basis as the winds shift.
With the even higher fire danger this year than last, at some point this summer the whole forest could get shut-down to off-road motorized vehicles. Since we've not heard anything yet, you might try extra hard to ride the Grippy Ganite, 'cuz it's possible it might be our last '08 trial at the Property, unless we get some significant rain up there (without lightning). |
