Today I have just a quick post – wanted to show you what we’re doing when I talk about RMTA and Observed Motorcycle Trials. These pictures were taken this past Sunday at Turkey Rock, CO.

These first two are DH, he finished 2nd in his class at this event. This year he’s competing at the intermediate level.

Did you see the two “observers” in the pictures of DH? Here they are competing. For most Observed Trials events in the US, everyone is dependent on each other for a successful event. The “upper” class riders observe (score) for the “lower or support” class riders and visa-versa. And yes, the person in the picture on the right is a girl She’s in the advanced class and the young man is in our champ class.

So there you have it – a quick peek at motorcycle trials. The oldest form of motorcycle competition and the only one that doesn’t involve speed. As you can see it’s balance, control & skill to make it thru each marked section without putting your feet down.

Off to start my day now…………………………

Well, I managed to get a new sweater done for Bezer – my Italian Greyhound who grew into a Whippet He really needs new sweaters for this winter since nothing from last year fits him anymore. The weather we had during the UTE Cup really was a reminder that winter will be here before we know it.

I’m using my own pattern – Darling Darby Sweater – which is available for free on my web site and on Ravelry. DH picked out the color – red, his favorite. And Bezer does look good in red. DH took these pictures this morning while the dogs were out playing…………………………..

And here’s Bezer playing with his “brother” AJ, the Australian Cattle dog……..they are great friends………

And here he is running with Aprilia – mom, and trying to get Merlin – dad to face the camera. We wanted to get pictures of Merlin’s sweater too but as you can see he is my camera shy Iggy………………….

Both Bezer’s and Merlin’s sweaters are knit in WoolEase – machine wash & dry – important in our household. I have some other projects to get done before Bezer will get another sweater this year.

Hope you enjoy Bezer’s pictures I’m off now to check out the new Webs catalog that just came in the mail……….

Cheers! Jean
