On The Pegs
T
hese have been trying times we have been
going through recently, but as Americans
we need to try to live as nornal lives as
possible while staying healthy and helping each
other. At its annual meeting this past November
the NATC came up with a schedule that con-
sists of eight rounds held over four weekends,
however, the opening national of the season in
northern California had to be reascheduled due
to COVID-19.
Trials Store US MotoTrials National Series NOW
starts on Memorial Day weekend (at least for
now) and ends in early October. This year’s list
of venues provides a wide variety of terrain and
obstacles, giving the advantage to the best all-
around rider... the one who can ride a wide vari-
ety of terrain.
Here’s a look at all four venues.
Rounds 1-2 (West Regional)
May 23-24, 2020
Wilseyville, CA
This year’s series kicks off near Wilseyville, Califor-
nia, at a new location in the Sierra Mountains south-
west of Lake Tahoe. The elevation will range from
3500 to 4000 ft.
The Schaad national will be held on private land
consisting of large wooded areas, loamy soil, creeks
and streams. Many of the sections are set on side
hills with water, rocks, and logs for the obsticals. The
conditions can be very slick or just slippery, depend-
ing on weather conditions. So far this year it is very
dry with lots of traction but that could all change
with a little rain.
A note to the riders, if you are picturing Donner
type terrain you will be in for a surprise!
