There will be a motorcycle trials event both Saturday & Sunday (06/28 - 06/29) in the "ledges" area of Arcadia. This area is located between Barber Trail/Austin Farm Road/Escoheag Hill road. Motorcycle trials is a skill event where riders ride thru various sections of terrain that include rocks, uphills, downhills, etc. Speeds are very slow. This is a national event and some of the best riders in the US will be there. If you want to be impressed check them out. You will be amazed at what they can ride!

Otherwise looks like a nice weekend for a change! Enjoy.

Ah crud, I wish that I was going to be around. Motorcycle trials is INSANE! I've seen a vid of a past competition at the Ledges and it is sick. 8' vertical get-ups and such. Just crazy what they can do on a bike. Mad-skill!

If anyone has the chance to go see it, it's well worth it.

Agreed - I happened upon some guys in that area at Arcadia one time. Unbelievable the stuff they went up - straight up. Amazing. Almost "did- that-guy-just-do-that?" type amazing.
