With a good clean day, seems Dougie has surpassed Baldilocks today, while Baldi(Glenn Quinn) still holds a marginal lead over Carlos Casas! Good job man! Seems Ishy is riding just a bit behind the lasses, Emma, Becky, and Katy, typical! P.A. is guarding the rear, yet had a much better day today! The kids, Browny, Alexz, Jack and such , are just HOT Stuff!

Who knows gaelic? I saw this phrase on the Scottish Six Days Trial site http://www.ssdt.org/ Any ideas? perhaps it means " we are going to bust your Balls"

pretty sure its me. but trying to find the results for yesterday to see how my mates going on, but can't seem to find any, other than that spot track thing? which i haven't got a clue how to use.

just gossip but day one Dougie lost a load on time, wiggy on 6 browny 3 Challoner also lost time9? cabby on 3. Alot of guess work

Apologies if this has already been posted. Caby has a daily blog running on his web site and is running with a helmet cam during the 6 day. Already a couple of clips from Scotland as he gets ready for the off. http://www.albertcabestany.com/

Are there a lot of delays with roadworks going up the Stirling way to Fort William? We never know which is the quickest way at the best of times!!

Day one results now available on the SSDT website!

Some of us are still at work (but heading up tommorow ) and my day entailed seeing a couple of customers in Liverpool, so early start and on the M6 at 0630Hrs. At 0715Hrs we came to a grinding halt 5 miles before Junction 15..............and I was still there at 1100Hrs, I noted that the 3rd lane was now starting to move, I did what any Law abiding ''Van Driver'' would do and ''BARGE'' my way into that lane hoping to get off at 15 and head South. The plan worked as I made up the 5 miles in the next half hour off at 15 and back South 1145Hrs.....ish. While sitting there for several hours I wondered how many riders or spectators were in this gridlock heading up to the Pre…

Baldilocks, if Ishy finds this he'll try selling it back to you. http://www.trialscentral.com/classifieds/d...php?siteid=7635 What's anybody else found whilst out on the moors? I've a pair of pliers & a really nice pump, both were found in the middle of nowhere.

With the 2010 Scottish literally just days away, I've made a couple of changes to the TC forums. Firstly, I've split the normal SSDT forum out from the General forums and given it it's own category up top and more prominent for the duration of the Trial. Secondly, and this is pretty cool (if you're a geek like me ) you'll notice a seperate forum called "SSDT News Feed". We now have a little software "robot" watching the SSDT website. Whenever the organisers post an update to the SSDT website a new Topic will be created in the SSDT News Feed Forum with a summary of that update and a link that will take you to the full article on the SSDT site. Users will be able to pos…

After reading Shirty's SSDT and Beta UK guide for SSDT preparation I thought I would add the over 50's ibruprofen guide to the SSDT. First off your not going to win, so stop dreaming thi old git we can watch the young tykes do that as were catching our wind after each group. Don't ever get off your bike if you can see both start and end cards, once you have walked to the top and back down again you'll not have the energy to start the bugger. Make sure you wear braces to keep thi breeches up, no bugger spectating wants to see an hairy old plumbers crack hanging over the back fender of a trials bike, it just turns them off trials. Pack chapstick and vaseline, …

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

Well, what was a certain Mr Colley riding when he won in 1997 and 2000??? I'm sure it was a gasser, especially as when I bought the '97 one off him he told me it had just won the event, but I could be wrong, you know what these dodgy second hand bike salesmen are like he he! COME ON DIBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paw Moffat is away to the But n Ben early to practice his patter for ssdt week. Every morning this week he'll be in the West End car park with Wee Jean's hairbrush & wearing Wee Stevie's ear muffs holding interviews with many unsuspecting tourists. With any luck the local constabulary will only caution him for this behaviour & he'll still be available for PF duties next week.

After many years of providing the top-notch Montesa service at the SSDT, Caz finally has a year off where she can take in the Trial and relax, but is she going to? Nope. She's going to climb Ben Nevis in aid of The Christie Cancer Charity in Manchester in memory of her late father, Jim. If you've enjoyed Sandiford's hospitality and service at the SSDT over the many years, go on - donate a couple of quid. At the time of writing this Caz is at 89% of her target. Every little helps so, let's see her get there HOWEVER!!! Taking on the mighty Ben Nevis is NOT what makes Caroline Sandiford a remarkable woman. What makes her remarkable is that she's actually manage to do w…
