Logan River Moto-Trials Club (LRMTC) and the Southern Queensland Trials Association (SQTA) are jointly promoting an open invitational trial to be held at the Gap Creek Farm Off Road Motorcycle Park on September 21. Both clubs have clear mission statements proactively promoting Moto-Trials here in the South East and as a way of fostering this philosophy the event is open to anyone, regardless of your political persuasion, looking for a relaxed yet competitive and inexpensive ride on the weekend. It is also a great opportunity for any non-affiliate rider who may have been sitting on the fence trying to justify the expense of a first time one off ride to come and have a go for a fraction of the cost.
Gap Creek Farm (http://gapcreekfarmstay.com.au/) is a very motorcycle friendly enterprise with the owners fast becoming trials converts after several visits by the seat less crusaders and to that effect they are offering an entry discount to any trials riders attending the weekends event.
To be clear, there will be no One Day Licenses required, nor the requirement to hold any form of Motorcycling Australia Competition Licenses. The property entry/insurance cover fee, which every rider is required to pay on entry to the property, is $15 (be sure to mention that you are there for the trial when signing in) and event proper entry fees are as follows:
Junior $10 (under 18)
Adult $15 (18 & over)
Family $25 (no matter how many entrants under 18 in the one family)
If you are wanting to camp the fee is $15/person/night or $10 for kids 5–14. There are clean toilets and showers on site but you need to bring all your own drinking water unless you like drinking ultraviolet treated bore water! Sounds delicious!
The clubs have secured the sole use of the large camping area to the left at the bottom of the entry road, on the highway side of the creek, if the idea of a camp over is attractive to anyone. There will be a contingent of members from both clubs out there on Saturday morning (Sept 20) setting up camp closely followed by a section setting Soiree and all the riding you care for afterwards, including hill climbs, trail rides or just going around in circles tear arse and busting…..whatever takes your fancy.
There is no need to contact either club beforehand, just show up on the day but be prepared to have a good time!!!!!!
