The Manx Classic Weekend Trial caters for a total of 180 riders, on 140 Pre-65 bikes and 40 Twinshocks and has been described by riders as the best of its type in Europe. Competitors travel from as far away as Australia, South Africa and Germany.

The route takes in some of the most spectacular scenery the island has to offer. With approximately 40 miles each day the Southern route on Saturday goes close to the magnificent coastal scenery at Cronk ny Arrey Laa, whilst the Northern route on Sunday explores the famous mountain region at Snaefell. The sections are spectator-friendly with most groups easily accessible.

The Premier sections are for those riders who like a challenge and the Clubman sections for those who just want an enjoyable weekend's sport. Entries open in mid December and are usually snapped up within days! www.ManxTrials.com or e-mail ManxTrials@aol.com
