Are pidcocks doing a mont service at the ssdt?

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

Stumbled across a pilgrimage video on Youtube, sorry I cant do a link maybe some one here can, type in ssdt on youtube and you will see it. Good little video Andy. Sorry I just noticed it on newsfeed on front page. DOH

so as the ssdt rapidly approaches who would you put your money on to win the womens class,with no spanish or german contenders this year ,i think it could be rather intresting. my money would be on maria conway on current form but if you look at the entry list theres 5 potential contenders but i think it may be very close .

Just been listening to the news re the shutting down of Scotlands petro chemical plant, and apparently people are panic buying, some forecourts are empty of fuel Will this have any direct affect on the SSDT?

Got home late last night, great few days weather was great apart from Sunday. HOWEVER...... The Pre-65 was rather spoiled for me again by the muppets who think it's okay to take their bikes off road because they can't be a***d walking. Friday Meall Na-Cruidhe not many but one or two bikes out on the moors thrashing around all over the place, I know there were a few press bikes but these folk need to be more obvious, yellow press bib?? As for the one I chased, wish I'd got the plate number, 315 mont if anyone's willing to own up......... Saturday was a different story, you could barely move at the top of Mamore for bikes and som eof the Rambles were not chuffed either.…

Hot of the press, here are the Provisional Results for today's sections at the Pre 65 Trial. Pre 65 Friday Provisional Results View the full article on the SSDT Website

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

Some videos I took yesterday from Kinlochleven http://www.youtube.com/user/NorthEastTrials?feature=mhum

I'm probably being thick; but where can I find an entry list & route for the SSDT Pre 65 trial?

Sorry if in the wrong section, but can someone tell me where parc ferme is for the two day pre 65 ?

Where?

Now i know the organising club, whoever they are as i have never been so not sure, for the Pre 65 event dont have a website so is there any way i can obtain a list of entries for the event? I was going to offer to observe while i was there but heard from a friend yesterday that they had offered but were told observers were not a problem. Theyre lucky then Would be nice just to see who is riding to see if i know anybody.

Despite watching/riding the SSDT most years since 1985 we've never been to watch the pre 65 so this year we're going up earlier. Can anyone advise on what sections to go to and what the route is or has it not been published yet? Apologies if this has already been discussed but can't find it if it has. Thanks

Going to be arriving in the Kinlochleven area about midday on the Saturday. Will the trial still be going on then? If so where would be the best place to head? I have watched the 6 days many times but never managed to catch any of the pre65, so would like to see some if possible.

A short compilation of some video clips I took on Saturday

Day one results now available on the SSDT website!

It was with great regret that the decision had to be taken to cancel the second day of the Pre'65 Scottish due to the severe weather conditions experienced in the Kinlochleven area. It had proved impossible to lay out a route with rideable sections for the second day due to the amount of water on the course. The volume of rain that fell continually on Thursday and Friday resulted in the majority of sections being raging torrents, with feet instead of the normal inches of water in them!

After a fantastic weekend of sun in Kinlochleven, the provisional results for the P65 are now available. Provisional P65 Results View the full article on the SSDT Website
