Al Gohlike is the trialsmaster for the last event of the season, to be held next Sunday, Oct. 24 at Storm’s Ranch, a mile or so east from the club grounds.

We added this event to the schedule after one of the WOTA/UMTA/Hixton events had to be cancelled.

I’ve added albums to the UMTA photo gallery: podium/rider’s meeting photos for the Sep. Theilman and Oct. Faribault events.

I could use some help labeling photos with the names of the people in the pictures, especially the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers. Contact me if you can help and I’ll teach you how to do it.
