I think all will agree that the Centenary SSDT was a fantastic event again this year....but it's not over yet! Edinburgh & District Motor Club are marking the 100th anniversary with a historic bike run on Sunday 29th of May.

what do those that do it figure that it takes to do this event, roughly

As many of the SSDT regulars will know, the SSDT supports the local Cystic Fibrosis charity by means of a donation from the takings of the programme sales each year. On Saturday 7th November, Billy McIsaac is setting off on the journey of a lifetime to the Himalayas to need some much needed funds for Cystic Fibrosis. Billy says "I decided that going to Everest would be a great way to celebrate my sixtieth birthday and in turn do something positive for others and myself. My hope is that I can raise

Ross is making a serious move today. John Shirt is in his target.

For the next six days the loch-side town of Fort William and the surrounding Lochaber region in the Scottish Highlands, will play host to the famous Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT). The SSDT is by far the world's longest running international motorcycle trial event and 2012 sees it enter its second century. Today, on the eve of the first day of the trial, riders have been busy making last minute preparations for the challenging six days ahead.

With the Royal wedding having been and gone, World attention has now shifted to the loch-side town of Fort William, which will be the base for the famous Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) that will celebrate its centenary when the actual competition gets underway early tomorrow morning. For one hundred years motorcyclists have made the pilgrimage to the Highlands to take part in what remains a unique event and one that still duly tests man and machine to the limit. Glorious sunshine created the fitting backdrop for the competitors to make their last minute preparations in order to be ready to be part of this historic occasion.

Gas Gas team mates Dougie Lampkin and Michael Brown share the lead at the end of day one of the 2011 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) after a glorious opening to the centenary edition of this World famous event. Both Lampkin and Brown completed the first of six days without any loss of marks having ridden the initial thirty observed sections that took them on a fifty-eight mile tour of the Scottish Highlands in an overall time limit of just over seven hours. Whilst conditions out on the moors were as dry as they have ever been, the lack of water over the winter months had left the boulders green and greasy. Uninterrupted sunshine shone throughout the day as the two hundre…

Day one of the centenary edition of the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) has finally arrived. One hundred years after this adventure first began, the lucky two hundred and seventy six riders have gathered in the West End car park for the start of the 2011 SSDT. The history of the SSDT is rich, with only an elite group of riders having managed to put their name on the famous winners’ trophy. 2007 SSDT victor and current British trials champion James Dabill is keen to prove his victory four years ago was no fluke and that he has what it takes to claim his second victory on this important occasion.

Alex Salmond - First Minister of Scotland was a welcomed visitor to the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) earlier today, as he toured the Parc Ferme as part of his current election campaign. The charasmatic politician was in good spirits as he enjoyed the glorious sunshine that has beseiged Fort William over more recent days. The SNP leader took time out from his busy schedule to meet the last few competitors of the field of two hundred and seventy six riders as they were about to set out on their first day of six in the Scottish Highlands.

Well folks - that's it!

Twenty-four year old Michael Brown - Gas Gas from Scarborough edged clear of the chasing pack on the second day of the 2011 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) with a two mark ride to follow on from his clean performance yesterday. Brown's lead is a slender one, with him holding a single mark advantage over his team mate Dougie Lampkin - Gas Gas who dropped three marks today. Lampkin failed to find the right line in the final section at Creag Lundie and knows he will have to work extra hard if he is to record a record breaking sixth win come the end of the week.
