Enduro 21st April Final Instructions

Date: 19-Apr-2024
The riders final instructions for the enduro on the 21st of April can be found here Please make sure you read them and understand them. Due to protected nesting birds there must be no excessive revving of engines in the paddock area, no parking in front of the quarry entrance and please take all your litter home. When riders reach the start of the special test they should stop and wait for the automated display to count down to GO before they enter the test. This way each rider gets at least a 15 second gap and if there are faster riders waiting at the start please consider letting them go first. We have a large entry and it's going to be busy......

Club Trials Championship Rnd.4

Date: 19-Apr-2024
The 4th round of the club trials championship has had to be moved at short notice from Monymusk to Colpy as the result of a waterlogged car park. We gave it every chance but the recent somewhat wet weather has left the car park deeply rutted. Fortuneatly we have secured Colpy as our alternative venue and as  result the trial will start half an hour earlier than usual at 10:30am.

Scottish Enduro Championship Final Rounds

Enduros eh? What are they like? Wait all summer for one and then two come along at once. We are pleased to tell you that entries are now open for rounds 4 and 5 of the 2023 Scottish Enduro championship which will be held at Sluie Woods, Craiglash, Banchory, Aberdeenshire. This is a two day event being held on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September.
We’ve made a few changes this year not least of which is the way you enter, just follow the links provided. Each day has an option to enter the weekend so only entry is required.

Saturday Link: https://www.theentrypoint.co.uk/events/sacu-scottish-championship-enduro-2023-rounds-45-saturday-jMv

Sunday Link: https://www.theentrypoint.co.uk/events/sacu-scottish-championship-enduro-2023-rounds-45-sunday-a6EkgOQ3Q4W1Gp8

This year to enable free camping, which is available from Friday evening onwards, we have moved the parking and parc ferme area, there is a map on the information page to guide you. Please DO NOT park at the quarry on Friday evening as they work on a Saturday morning and you may well be on the end of a rude awakening.  Catering will be available from Saturday morning until the end of Sunday. Please have a look at the information page before you enter as there is some good local information for you as well as maps to help you find the start area.

Online entry system has been tested and is fairly simple to use (works great on a phone) but if you run into problems drop us a line on bill@bamcc.co.uk and we will do our best to help you. Paper entry forms can still be downloaded from our website if you can’t do the online thing. One last thing entries close sharp at 8am on Thursday 31st August so don’t delay.

Sorry folks but our trial scheduled for tomorrow (20th) is cancelled ☹️ There is just so much water pouring onto the roads all around the trial site and beyond that it wouldn't be safe to travel.

Jamie Galloway Trials Training Days

Date: 04-Oct-2022
Trials Training days with Jamie Galloway

Most people will know Jamie as one of the country’s best trial riders and rightly so.  We’ve all stood at championship trials this year and gasped at his ability, but did you also know that Jamie placed third in the Trial 3 Class this year in the World Championships at his first attempt! He came second in class at the British Championships and currently sits second overall in the Scottish Premier championship just three points off the lead with one round to go. On top of all that Jamie is a fully qualified trials coach.
Jamie’s chance of competing further were dealt a serious blow in September when thieves broke into the family garage and stole a large number of items including Jamie’s beloved TRS trials bike. Fortunately, the trials community have gathered round to help, and our contribution will be all the proceeds from these two training days, the club will not take a penny and all proceeds raised will go direct to Jamie to help fund his 2023 season.
We have two training days organised and each day will follow a similar pattern with the day starting at 11am, a wee break for lunch at 1pm and then more action until 3pm when you’ll have the chance to practice what you’ve taught under Jamie’s watchful eye.
The first day will be on Saturday 5th November at Mains of Glack farm near Rhynie in Aberdeenshire while the second day will be on Sunday 6th November at Bellwanders Wood near Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire. Riders can book either day via our website at www.bamcc.co.uk/events/2022.html and the cost is £50 per rider, per day and remember that all proceeds are going to help fund Jamie’s 2023 season. Don’t think about it too long though as spaces are limited to just ten riders per day. Entries are welcome from club members and non club members alike.


Pre 65 / Twinshock trial Sunday 9th October 2022

Date: 03-Oct-2022
It is with much regret that we must inform you that this trial scheduled for Sunday 9th October has been cancelled due to a lack of entries. It simply wasn't feasible for the club to run a trial with more observers / admin staff than there would be riders. We'll be in touch asap with the details of the refunds of your entry money.
