Our 2025 season will kicked off on a very cold but fine day at the Pickling Yards, Mortimer on Saturday, 11th Jan.

It was great to see you all turn up to support Nomads & encourage our small band of organisers to do some more in 2025! Thanks to all the riders for travelling, attending and supporting the event. Feedback that Rey & Dave set a good sporting selection of sections. As it turned out, the best performances on both B & C routes came from Pre ‘67 riders & machines!

We trust you enjoyed the complimentary catering and donations for the landowners charity raffle were much appreciated. Saturday 1st March is planned for our next CTC Trial at Ellisons near Thatcham, notifications to confirm will be posted online.

Rather later than expected, here are the results for the Mike Slatter trial.

The event was arranged under the shadow of Storm Burt, but in the end, the event went well and we saw some great riding on a wet and slippery, but rideable course. We had to run a shortened course of 8 sections due to a lack of observers, so would appreciate a bit more support next time. To those who braved the elements to observe, run signing-on and mark the course, thankyou as ever! We couldn’t run without you.
