On The Pegs 22 NATC ANNOUNCEMENT ON US MOTOTRIALS SERIES Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the 2020 US National MotoTrials schedule has been adjusted, moving back the series opener in California from April 25-26 to May 23-24 (tentatively). The following is a statement from North American Trials Council CEO Brad Baumert. Dear fellow MotoTrials enthusiast, You, our volunteers, participants, spectators and the communities our events are held in are of the utmost importance to us. As we continue to see new developments surrounding the Coronavirus COV- ID-19, we wanted to communicate some necessary actions we are taking for the safety and health of everyone. We will be postponing the upcoming National that was scheduled in California on April 25th and 26th 2020, the PITS club that has worked tirelessly to host this event has accepted this postponement and will instead host the National on Memorial day weekend, May 23rd and 24th 2020. Any rider who has signed up for the event will receive a full refund of rider/minder fees if the postponed date is not appropriate. We will assess California and other future rounds of the series as we get closer to those dates and further understand the developments surrounding the Coronavirus. We did not do this lightly and will communicate further developments.
