Back Riding With the Crew Again
It’d been a while since I’d ridden with my local trials biking crew due to people’s schedules (including mine) and the Bentonville Bike Fest. What a blast!
It’d been a while since I’d ridden with my local trials biking crew due to people’s schedules (including mine) and the Bentonville Bike Fest. What a blast!
Prior to the North American Trials Championship competition at the 2023 Bentonville Bike Fest, several of us went downtown for a bike trials group ride.
When the trials biking gang gets together, fun ensues! I was out with an injury when this was filmed in summer 2022, but was still busy making trials videos.
While not obvious, Mike and I both felt stiff and sore. I spent forever working on some lines. For a struggle though, our riding was better than I expected.
The rain started just as we began riding, making the wooden features of the trials park wet and slippery. And a load of cops showed up!
It was a gorgeous afternoon. There were lots of lines and obstacles to ride. Everything was going well, until… it wasn’t.
Mike and I rode our trials bikes all over the rocky Narragansett shoreline ledge. Even though only two of us showed up, I’ll still consider it a group.
In one week the temperatures went from January to August. It was around 80F today, and the gnats were doing their best to swarm our faces while we rode.
In an effort to consolidate various sources of information related to bike trials competitions and other events, we’ve created a new trials events calendar.
Vlasta Kabeláč Čiháček, an accomplished elite level trials rider from the Czech Republic, joined our crew for two days of riding.
