The British National Trials Cup kicks off on Sunday 18th April at Barrow Farm Trials and Jump Centre in Essex. Built and run by Radical Bikes, the Barrow Farm centre is a great venue for bike riders in the South of England. It is situated on three acres of land near Chelmsford in Essex and has six trials areas (a beginners section, a natural logs section, a pipes section, rocks, balance beams and a large ’street’ section), as well as three sets of dirt jumps and a BMX track!
