Welcome to the Welsh Trail Riders Association (WTRA) We have now confirmed our list of competition events for 2012 and will continue with the successful format of recent years. This will see two traditional timecard enduros together with two 2-day rallies in forestry around the Llandovery area of SW Wales. The year starts with the Snowrun Enduro, long regarded as the season opener for traditional timecard events, due to take place on Sunday 5th February, in the Crychan and Glyn Saer Forests. The event will feature a 25 mile lap with an easy time schedule. The usual classes are catered for and the twin shock class introduced last year will continue.  Entries are available with immediate effect.  The introduction last year of our on-line entry and payment system has proved to be very successful and will continue for 2012. Follow the Snowrun entry link and fill in your details and make your payment on-line. The Snowrun will be followed by the Drovers (formally Red Kite) Enduro on Easter Sunday (8th April) in Halfway Forest. The event uses the start area and many of the tracks from the early days of enduro, together with that part of the MoD Eppynt ranges still available to off-road motorcycling.  The Club will then be running two Rally's to complete the year. Both are 2-day events, with a 1-day option on the Sunday for those who are unable to make the full weekend. Also, it is proposed to continue with a 2-lap per day option for Beginners in both events. The first will be the Beacons 2-day Rally on 11th / 12th August in Crychan and Glyn Saer forests. It is hoped to reintroduce the social evening on the Saturday night of the Beacons that was a popular feature of the 2010 event. The second will be the Cambrian Rally on 13th / 14th October, in the Tywi Forest, incorporating part of the Strata Florida track and stunning scenery in one of the remotest areas of Mid-Wales. Each of the four days of competition will count towards the 2012 WTRA Rally Championship.
