On The Pegs
The land owner and P.I.T.S. club mem-
bers have worked very hard to try and
make this an enjoyable experience
for everyone. The camping/pit area is
grass. There are some level areas but
others will need to plan to level up their
rigs. The club will try and provide some
wood blocks and assistance if needed.

June 13-14, 2020
Little Hocking, Ohio
Rounds four and five will be held at
the Wildwood Lake Raceway in south-
ern Ohio, were the promoting club
(Trials Inc.) is planning a very technical
trial. This area offers multiple types of
landscape, including green moss cov-
ered rock, logs, creek beds, ledges and
possibly a hillclimb or two. Camping is
available on site, as well as concessions.
The event will feature a 5 to 7 mile
loop which follows some of the Hard
Enduro Loop from last season.

Rounds 5 & 6 of the series takes place

miles outside of Kingman, AZ.
Please be prepared for wet (Arizona
Monsoons in the evening), early morn-
ing 40 degrees to dry, warm weather in
the 80s
Riders can expect sections that range
from “slab boulder” type sections to
loose dirt with logs, possible running
water creek beds and rock outcropping
sections, with a fun, tight single track
Loop.
Rounds 7-8 (East Regional)
October 3-4, 2020
Scottsboro, Alabama
The Alabama national will be held on
a property that is 600 acres in a valley
with mountains on both sides and a flat
60-acre field for parking in between.
The elevation will be around 1,600 feet.
Hollytree off-road park is the event
site. They have a Facebook page and a
website.
The terrain is rocky hill sides with
large creek sections, waterfalls and off-
camber hill sides.
Pat Smage and Nigel Parker compet-
ed in the Huntsville Trials Club’s Battle
of the Pipes event back in November
which was a cross between trials and
Extreme Enduro with observed sec-
tions scattered throughout the course
and Smage told us the terrain is great
and the club has plenty to work with
for the event.
Camping is primitive and has a nice
“his and hers” shower house. n
