Info

Update 17 Mar: You've guessed it, the Wyegate is officially cancelled for only the second time in its 37 year history. All current entries will be refunded. We hope you are all well and continue to remain so. Look after yourselves and your families. Ian Wixon and the Wyegate team.

In case you haven't already seen an email, the ACU have said "ACU are suspending all competition and social activity until at least the 31st May 2020, but this will be constantly reviewed."

Update 04 Mar: Regs and Entries are now available on the right. Ian has also said we can allow requests to ride near. There is a box shown on the entry system asking you.

Update 12 Feb: A first meeting of the Wyegate Team is planned for Thursday 13th Feb 7:30pm 'ish at our usual venue of the King's head at Monmouth (Wetherspoons). Those that should go are anyone who is willing to put effort into the running of this event before the date rather than just on the day. Ian Wixon is authorised as a National CofC for that date and has bravely taken on the role. Good Man. If you can't go but would like to get involved then contact our secretary, Ian on secretary@wgdfmcc.org.uk

Update 15 Jan: No News other than we've asked for a date from ACU of 26th April 2020. We are still trying to get a team together.

We notice in the new handbook that there is a new class to suit the new breed of modded trials bikes as opposed to the road bikes modified to trail. This is the Hybrid class. Chances are that our CofC (which looks like being Ian Wixon again) will be changing the regulations again.

The ACU Trail Bike Championship

Sadly only 3 rounds were booked in for this year and now we are down to 2 with a big question mark hanging over them too. Events of this type take a lot of forward planning so the Rist will probably need to decide prety soon whether to even start the process.

Interestingly, the more specialist class of modded Trials bikes are now catered for with a Hybrid class.

1 The Wyegate: Cancelled 26 April 2020. You are already on the West Glos's webpage.

2 The Fred Rist: 05 July 2020. The Neath Motor Club. Get your entries in Now. Enter here:

3 The Moor Two Sea: 20 September 2020. West of England Motor Club. Details.

Clerk of the Course says

CHG's Viv Jackson likes to walk the sections as early as possible. Conditions probably won't improve before April! Pic: Ian Wixon

28th Feb 2020 and PG Steps are giving themselves a wash off ready for you!

Wyegate entries will be open soon. In the meantime here's what Pant-Glas looked like today.

Snippets

Here's the official wording from the ACU Handbook for the suggested new class: Hybrid Trail Class (championship Route eligible but not an official championship 2020). Machines with a minimum seat height of 700mm using trials bike type running gear with larger tank and seat units, Trials Spec Tyres as per TSR8 and must be silenced to comply with TSR 14. How and if the team are going to word that for this year's regs remains to be seen.

93 winner Tony Falconer left passes the EDP Trophy to 2019 winner Kevin Miller. Pic: Ben Falconer Awards were given out from the 2019 event at our annual do. Some that weren't able to make it have either been sent their award or had it presented elsewhere. Our press officer Ben managed to snap a unique event where the EDP trophy for best Over 60 rider was presented to the latest holder by the first ever holder, Tony Falconer. Tony won it way back in 1993 which was Tony's 9th ride of the Wyegate. (Admittedly, for the first 26 years the award was for the best Over 45!)
