Hello all,
No rest for the wicked, as they say, and yes!! In less than two weeks there is another POINTS PAYING event – Marc Redman is hosting an event at Redman Ranch/”TTC of the North” on Sunday the 28th. There will be additional goodies and prizes to lure you onto his property:
There will be a Brat (the wurst kind, your kids are safe) and Burger cookout, and, for class winners, special UMTA Branded Apparel from the 2011 Summer Collection!!
Hope to see you all there.

Apparently the World’s Largest Trials Rider is also a marketing genius…. he has been hard at work as the club secretary…. which may make him the World’s Largest Secretary, but I digress…..
He has created UMTA Branded Apparel that you can buy from the comfort of your computer screen this very minute!!
Personally I like:
 UMTA is the new black
Although you may like:
 For the GG crowd
And if you ride a Sherco, you may go for:

Thanks Victor!

As a result of much effort and work by the well skilled, rock hardened, and TRIALS dynasty developing 2006 UMTA Expert class champion Randy Kimmick (and family), FUN, FOOD, and FAME awaits TRIALS riders in Gilbert this weekend.
Chris Eddy perhaps said it best:
For the regulars that have been going to Gilbert over the last few years, you already know that it will be a great event.  The food that Vicki prepared for us last year was absolutey great and I am glad to hear she is back for another year.
For those of you that have not been up to Gilbert, you really don’t know what you are missing. About this time before every Gilbert event we try to round you guys up and convince you that the drive is worth it. The regular complaint I have heard, besides the drive, is that the dirt stains your bike. Take it from somebody that rarely washes their bike, this rumor is not true. When I did wash my bike at the end of the year I saw no evidence of Glibert on my bike.
Aside from the great variety of terrain, yes there is more to ride on than just rocks, the Gilbert cup is up for grabs. Imagine your name forever engraved on our enourmous UMTA plaque hanging in the DNR office. I have been saving my best performance for this event. (CAN YOU SAY…FAME!!!!)
Need more? How about our first female competitor of the year? That’s right, Jennifer will be out with her very own TY175 in the novice class. Watch out boys. So come on out and join us in Gilbert. If you can’t make it you will be missed, but we will have a lot of fun and good food regardless.
Calling ALL Trials enthusiasts;
THE PLACE to be this weekend is GILBERT MN!!!!!!!
