SSDT Chat

Andy, As we are again nearing the time when thoughts are heading to Fortwilliam and Kinlochleven area ,it must be a good time to start the NO NUMPTIE CAMPAIN. against unautherised riders for the six days and pre 65. I am sure the organising club would be pleased for any help that T/C can give to stop the riders/spectators who still ignore warnings. Will you post photos ect.this year.

I hadn't seen a link to posted yet. Sorry if it is a repeat. Interesting video.Cheers Doug

Up in Scotland for a couple of days but only going to be able to take in one day of the trial. Monday. Want to cram in as much as possible on that day plan is to start at Leanachan also do Lagnaha and Town Hall Brae can anyone recommend a group inbetween that I stand a chance of getting parked at? Was thinking Blackwater or Coire Mhorair, are these groups ok for spectators? Cheers Dave

As it says on the tin, I am thinking of taking the road bike thru to watch, have never been before and don't even know where to start going tbh. I'm coming from Dundee, so thru Glencoe, and will only be holiday Monday I can make it, so should I just head in to Kinlochleven and walk places from there or is there any tips on where to go and watch ??? Thanks in advance

Is there commercial area in the parking lot? What I can find there normally? Any chance they accepting CC's or I should bring cash? And non Trial related item, but one that I should not come back home without it! A (very) good bottle of single malt whiskey! Is there any good shop in town? If not, is there any on the way? Those days, I cannot wait to the duty free shops in the airport 'cos they are not allowing liquids on board. have to buy it before... See you on Friday after noon!

Have looked in each day's results but Amos and Laia don't appear to be riding? Any one know why?

Is it just me or is the Ssdt website down mark t

I know a lot of riders and spectators read these forums but dont like to post comments - please if you attended the scottish fill in this survey - it will be good to see the results and it can influence next years event. thanks mark

I've watched a few of the many videos that have been supplied by "generous" sources and I had a thought, I was watching Shaun Morris on Lagnaha and there was a top ten in-the-world guy struggling (well for a one) when Murray Whittaker struggled through for a three. The point I'm trying to make is: is it necessary for every world championship round to have 15 rev & splatter sections when a decent stream can challenge all and desist none? BTW kudos Murray, good ride.

Hi all, I managed just a couple of vid clips from Friday action at the 2008 SSDT. As below, Ian.

Can anyone tell me how common bike swapping is during the ssdt. Obviously against the rules I presume but not uncommon I'm lead to believe, anyone care to comment

Some of you will remember all my gurning last year when I cycled from Glasgow to Edinburgh for charity....well, I can't have gurned enough, because this year we've got an SSDT squad doing the same thing! Mark Whitham (Clerk of the Course), Davy Robinson and Ian Boyd (Assistant Clerks of the Course, aka The Beardies) and myself are taking up the challenge once again, and along with some companions that we've bribed to join us, we're cycling from Glasgow to Edinburgh on Sunday 13th September as part of the Pedal For Scotland fundraising extravaganza. As many of you will know, the SSDT regularly has to call on the services of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue squad to help us o…

Been on the official SSDT site but nothing on there about the Pre 65 trial. Anybody know who won or a site where i can see the results

can some body please confirm the dates for the ssdt 2007 please and also the pre 65 ssdt

I see the SSDT web site forums are offline, looks like the are under attack from spam bots. Our club site was hit by the spam bots, made it very hard to allow members to post without all the posts for Russian porn etc. We don
