The CPTA is proud to be hosting all of the rounds of the CMA trials nationals this season.  It promises to be an exciting event, showcasing trials talent from across the country.  Here is what you need to know:

The event will be held at the CPTA club riding area, Ioco; located in Port Moody, BC.  A Google map can be found here: map to Ioco- green arrow.  There will be signs posted directing you to the event from the highway.

You can find the CPTA on the web at www.trialsbc.com; if you have any questions please contact us there.  You can view the official event poster on our website.

The cost of the event is $45 per day which will include your $70 CMA licence (required to ride the event).  If you already have a CMA licence, the entry fee will be $20 per day.  The Sunday event will be held in conjunction with a regular CPTA club trial, and the entry fee for this is $20 (OR it is included with a CMA national event entry for CPTA members).

The classes for the CMA national will be Novice, Junior, and Intermediate on a moderate loop; and Advanced, Veteran 35, Veteran 45, and Expert on a more technical loop.  Advanced, Vet 35, and Vet 45 will all ride the same lines.  The classes for the CPTA club trial will be Junior, Intermediate, and Sportsman (same line as Int.) on the moderate loop; and Advanced, Senior, and Expert on the technical loop.  Due to the differences in skill level in the classes, the expert line sections (for the title of Canadian Champion) will be 75% club trial or PNTA level expert, and 25% PNTA level champ or US national level expert.

Number plates are required for the CMA national, as follows:

• Expert: black numbers on a white plate
• Advanced, Vet 35, Vet 45: green numbers on a white plate
• Intermediate: black numbers on a yellow plate
• Junior: red numbers on a white plate
• Novice: white numbers on a black plate

This will be enforced!

The pit area will be open starting Friday morning.  There are gates that are locked at 9 pm for safety; however, it is a good idea to bring a lock for your bike.  If you find yourself on the wrong side of the gate, we have the key to let you in.  There is dry camping available (over night in tents or RV’s; no fires, no water, dumping or electricity).  There will be portable toilets on site, and the nearest recreation centre (for showers, etc.) is located in Port Moody (about 10 min drive), and on the web here: PoMo Rec Ctr

The PoCo Inn & Suites is sponsoring our event with great rates on 20 hotel rooms that have been set aside for the weekend.  You can view them on the web @ http://www.poco-inn-and-suites.com, or call 1.800.930.2235.  Mention CPTA for the discount.  Reserved rooms and rate available until May 6^th.

To help continue our riding fun at Ioco, there are a few rules to be followed:

• There is to be no “open gas cans” in the pits, meaning all gas cans must be sealed when not in use, and not left on the ground (on a trailer or in a truck bed would be perfect)
• There will be a strictly enforced 5 mph speed limit in the pit area (by points added to your event score)

The event will be held using a cross check format; with Novice, Junior, and Intermediate/Sportsman riders on one loop in the morning, and Advanced, Senior, Vet 35, Vet 45, and Expert riders on a separate loop in the afternoon.  Please be prepared to observe a section one day, or to provide someone to do so; running a trial on the cross check system will help support all the riders.
