The Upper Midwest Trials Association is now on Twitter. Follow us to keep track of our UMTA blog and other trials-related news items.

And if you follow us, we’ll likely follow you if you tweet regularly about trials.  And if we see something you tweet that we like, we’ll retweet it to our followers.

We’ve starting using the hashtag #motorcycletrials for most of our tweets so consider doing likewise whenever you tweet about trials.

Here’s the revised UMTA Handbook, 2008 edition (PDF). (The changes from 2005 are in italics throughout.)

It’s also available on the Handbook page.

And when you pay your annual membership dues for the season, you receive a printed Handbook. Changes there are color-coded.

I’ve created a new UMTA photo gallery for 2007 photos using Google’s Picasaweb. It has many advantages over our old gallery (2004-2006 photos), including the ability to embed slideshows into a blog post.

If you’re a UMTA member and want to be able to upload photos to the club gallery, let me know.

I’ve imported all the old posts from Blogger dating back to 2002. Whew!

Most of the images embedded in those posts seem to work. Of course, links to the old pages on our website no longer work.

More to come…

I’m going to start working on an overhaul of the UMTA site today. I’m going install WordPress.

So for a while, you won’t be able to find stuff. And don’t be alarmed by the boring look. We’ll spiff it after we get it running.
