News Updates...
Aug 12th	Fire permits required for the Strawberry Trial! According to Paul Master, fire permits will be required even for stoves inside vehicles. The permits are good through the end of the year. Go to the Sequoia National Forest web site, learn a bit about fire safety, take a quickie test, then print your fire permit. Or, you can probably get one by stopping by the Mi-Wuk Ranger Station sometime before 5 pm Friday.
	New venue for the Niagra Creek Trial - Aug 28 & 29! It's been moved nearer to Strawberry. Coincidentally, it is now called the Strawberry Trial. See flyer. It'll now be at a lower elevation and closer to Sacto. Fewer miles to drive and a somewhat reduced "wild weather" potential are both good things. John Husmann and Justin Hensley are getting the Sunday, Class A trial together, while Ron Reinitz and Nick Meyers are organizing the VB trial on Saturday. New organizers and a new place to ride - alright!
	In addition to Mike Miklancic's excellent Nationals photos (see link below), check out the Nevada Dust Devils' (dual-sport club) Donner Nationals photos and movies. (To view the movies, click on the "slideshow" link at the top-left of their photo page.)
	The great Sierra weather at the Donner Nationals stuck around for the Geritol Weekend at the PITS Property. The Bill family (Joe, Deniese, Ashley, Brody, and Jozie) put on a fun VB trial on Saturday, which was followed on Sunday by the long running Geritol Trial by Paul Jansen-Olliges & ol' Jaydub. Sunday's Geritol results are now posted; the Geritol VB results should be up soon. On Sunday, Nick Turner used his skill, his bike's advanced age and his middling age (not a kid & not elderly) to capture the Geritol Class win. Jim Porter did the same on the Whippersnapper line, while Utah Myers "smoked" the kids line. (Just how does one "smoke" the competition on a non-gas-burning, electric trials bike?) (Note - We lost the checker list. Please help if you can. We need Madelyn's last name [the young lady who helped Brodie check Sec. 4], and the make of Paul Jensen's new bike, so we can update the Geritol results. Click on the email link at bottom of page - thanks.)
Aug 3rd	We have a new National Champion - Cody Webb! Cody has returned the Championship to California. How appropriate that we have in the Pic o' the Month both Cody and his proud dad and minder, Kipp. Cody has been "on fire" for much of the season; he was awesome at Donner Ski Ranch and captured the the National Championship with his win on Saturday. Congratulations Cody Webb! For some killer pics, see Mike Miklancic's photos
	As all the fun and excitement of the Nationals start to fade, don't forget this weekend at the PITS Property. It's the Geritol Weekend where age discounts on Sunday, while regular Saturday rules apply at the Saturday Vintage/Beginner Trial (no advantages for the old folks, other than experience and treachery). See flyer.
July 29th	If you volunteered to work at the Donner Nationals this weekend, please click the National Workers List to make sure we have you listed for the right job. And if you haven't already, please call and confirm with Howard Galbreath at 530-753-2519. It looks like our own Cody Webb is in the catbird seat to win the 2010 National Championship. Come watch Cody and the rest of the best trials riders in North America do their thing! Also, here's the link to the official Donner National Championship Trial web site. Come on up to Donner Ski Ranch this weekend and don't forget to bring your friends (to either help or to enjoy the show).
	The fun continues at the Geritol Trial Weekend, August 7th & 8th, the next weekend after the Donner Nationals. See the Geritol Weekend Flyer. Joe Bill and the Bill family are organizing the Saturday VB Trial while Paul Olliges with somehelp from Old Jaydub and Dennis Edwards, is getting Geritol Trial together. Both days will consist of VB type lines, with the regular 5 lines on Saturday, and only Lines 1 through 3 for Sunday's Geritol Trial: 1-line for Whippersnappers, 2-line for the Geritol Class (over 35) and 3-line for the younger or less experienced riders.
