From UMTA Board Member Jack Chermak:
This is a friendly reminder to load up your bike and bring your favorite dish to Gilbert this weekend for the traditional potluck dinner following the trials on Saturday.
The club will provide hot pork & beef for sandwiches, condiments, plates, and utensils.
Anything you can bring to add to this will be greatly appreciated and quickly devoured. Leftovers will be available on Sunday for lunch. Thank you in advance for your food contributions ($$$!).
There is great trials riding weather forecast for the weekend and the report on the sections set up by the Hofstrands should be a lot of fun. We hope everyone can find a way to make the beautiful drive up to Gilbert for one of the best UMTA events of the season. See you all there!

 A non-sanctioned, non-points event is planned for this Sunday, June 13 at the Trimbelle/Redman Ranch location.
It’s free for UMTA club members and their families. Food and pop (AKA soda!) will be provided.
The fun starts at 10 am with a gate trial starting at 12:30 pm. Trialsmaster: Bear.
What’s a gate trial? Typically, each section is marked with a number of gates, each having a point value. The object is to complete as many gates as you can, sometimes within in a one-minute time limit, accumulating points as you go. But you only keep the points if you clean all of the gates you attempt. One dab and you get a zero for that section. High score wins. Riders can be on teams.
Variations of gate trials:
What gate trial format will Bear use? Show up and you’ll see!
