The CTTA is proud to host the first two rounds of the 2012 Texas State Trials Championship at Emma Long Municipal Park in Austin, TX on February 18th & 19th, 2012.

There are three documents that may help you prepare for this event:

We look forward to a BIG turnout at City Park! Help us celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the CTTA by attending this FUN event. Trials Marshals Ray Peters, Stephen Hetzel, Ben Dalgleish and Bobby Reece will be setting some wonderful sections to test your skill!

The best way to encourage individuals and clubs to host more State Series events in 2013 is to attend ALL of the events in 2012… Hope to see you there.

The CTTA is very fortunate to have an Austin City Park to ride in. There is about 7 miles of hard trail at City Park, but, it also offers numerous creeks with limestone ledges and caliche ball bearings… terrain that is ideal for trials. The CTTA has been hosting Local and State Championship Trials events at “City Park” for more than 30 years.

Put this address into your favorite map utility:
7544 0ak Shores Dr, Austin TX 78730  - or show on google maps

Directions: From RR 2222 & Hwy 360, go west on RR 2222 to first light. Turn left (south) on City Park Rd. Turn left (east) onto Oak Shores Dr at sign for Motorcycle Trail. Entrance to the park is on the left.

Trials riders are usually at the park Wednesday afternoon and on weekends.

We had another great turnout with 41 riders at Joe Miller’s in Jonestown! A BIG thanks to Joe for having us out to play on his beautiful property! BJ set 5 fun and interesting gate trial sections for our riding enjoyment – thanks BJ!

Results are here. There are two files – in one the scores are shown by class and by overall position, which ignores class.

Hope to see another great turnout at the final round on December 10th. This event will be a toy drive – your entry fee will be a toy – more info will posted soon.

Thanks again to Joe and BJ! It was a great day for playing on the trials bike.

Results – Round #4 – CTTA Summer Series 2011

Click here for Results for Round 4 of the CTTA’s Summer Series at the Harvest Classic Rally. We had a RECORD turnout with 67 riders in attendance! I hope everyone enjoyed playing in the creeks and on the man-made section next to the bike show. We had hundreds of cheering spectators watching us ride – it was pretty cool.

We have lots of folks to thank!

To all of our judges – Susan Glasscock, Julie Reece, Brenda Brannon, Sidney Miller, Molly McDonald, Cindy Hubbard and John Armour - THANK YOU!

Glen Roblin, Caleb Mizell and Josiah Mizell put on a show of riding skill for everyone’s enjoyment – THANKS guys!

To EVERYONE that helped put-up or tear-down the sections - THANK YOU! Many hands made quick work of what is a major chore. It takes a club to put on an event like the Charity Challenge at the Harvest Classic Rally .

Lastly, I want to thank all of the competitors – y’all donated generously to the Candlelighter’s Childhood Cancer Foundation! The Charity Challenge raised about $2,400.00 to assist families that are struggling with childhood cancer! And that figure does not include the amount that trials riders contributed via the rally entry – I’m guessing that the CTTA Trials contribution was in excess of $4,500.00 at this year’s rally and that number does not include the $1,500.00 donation that the CTTA made to the Candlelighter’s after the National!

I hope to see everyone at the event at Joe’s in just 3 weeks! I’m sure that BJ will lay out some very fun sections on Joe’s little slice of trials heaven! A flyer will follow – soon.

Thanks all,
