Great Trial today John!  Thank you VERY much for hosting the event! 

I would like to propose we name your water sections "YooHoo Creek" as these bottles haunted me at the store after the Trial!  LOL!

I'd like to give a huge "atta boy" to Paul Endres for hosting a fantastic day of riding Saturday, September 28th, at Cedar Creek!  Paul and crew did an absolute TON of work discovering and setting up lots of new sections! 

The sections were incredibly fun!  The loop was awesome!  The weather was perfect!  To top it off, after the group ride, Paul had hot dogs, homemade chili, cole slaw, chips, and drinks for everyone!  All and all, a great ride and a lot of fun!

Also, a big shout out to Jay Terry, Jay Lael, and David Wertsch for an awesome day of group check!  It was really fun riding with you guys!

News Update from Paul Enders regarding the COTA Cedar Creek 2 Day Group Check Ride scheduled for this weekend, September 13th & 14th.

ODF has posted the Tillamook Forest OHV trials as closed due to severe fire danger. As such, the COTA 2 Day Group Check Ride will be postponed and rescheduled for Saturday and Sunday, September 27 & 28th.

More news as updates become available.  Stay tuned.

In the meantime, here's a link to the Tillamook Forest OHV Trail Update:

Jay,
I think you mean where NOT to place a wheel when going over a log!  LOL!   

Thanks to Ishy for putting on a great trial today!  I had a fantastic time riding at Chez Isherwood.
 
The sections were super fun and there were lots of laughs from the group check lunatics I rode with at the trial!   

Hey Mike,
There won't be a standard "COTA" flyer available for this event. 

The Scottish Fundraiser Trial is not a COTA event.  No COTA Championship points will be awarded for participation. 

Hey Gang,
Attached please find a link to some photos I took at the Washougal Trial between the rain.

As you can see I'm far from an accomplished photographer.   

Attached please find the flyer for this weekend's COTA Round # 3 Washougal Daylight Dabs Trail this Sunday, March 9th. 

Please ensure you're not late for the event.  Set your clocks forward 1 hour on Saturday night as Daylight Savings Time begins!  I hope to see everyone for what is looking to be a really fun event!

Hey gang,
It's that time of year to cast your vote for your favorite trials event of the year!  The winning event's trials marshal will receive $100 at the COTA year end award's banquet in addition to the praise and adulation which comes from such an accolade!  Cast your vote now!

That would be awesome John!  I'm in!

Loved the trial at your house earlier this year.  I look forward to this next one!

I've gone green Dave!  The only thing I'm missing from a 2013 Kawi is launch control!  LOL!

Wish you could of made it up for the Dabber.  It would have been great to see you!

Wow!  I'm jealous!  I could have used some of those settings yesterday at Karey's trial!  Especially anything that would have exploded all the rocks out of the creek in Section 3!

John,
Thank you for hosting a fantastic trial!  I'm in awe at the sheer amount of work you've done to your place to make it event ready!  Job well done!

I had a great time riding some really fun technical sections today!  Now if I could just clean Section 1 one time I'd be happy!  LOL!

PS - My score would have been lower if Jack would stop turning my idle down when I'm not looking!   

Can't wait to check out your new property John!  Looking forward to it!

Just a quick update.  We spoke to ODF today.  Here's the latest information. 

All riders 61 years old and younger will need to have carry the state issued ATV Safety Education Card with you at all times while you are riding ODF public lands with the exception of COTA members only on the actual day of a scheduled event, such as the upcoming COTA Diamond Mill trial on Sunday, 04/28/13.  However, if you are going to ride up there on the Saturday before you will need to have the Safety Education Card on your person or risk receiving a fine.

I believe the fine is $110.00 per occurrence.  That will add up in a hurry!  Forewarned is forearmed!
