Scottish Six Days Trial 2010
Welcome to the SSDT 2010 page. Here you can keep up to date with Western Centre riders in the run-up and during the most famous trial in the world.
January 17: The ballot results are out, and 3 Western Centre riders are in - Henry Bendall (West Glos), John Luff (Stroud Valley), and Craig Talbot (Wilts Border MC). This will be Henry's third consective "Scottish", and hopefully it will be a little less dramatic than last year when his bars broke at the first group. John finally won a first class award last year and his next goal may be to crack the top 100. Craig's second home is Fort William, having been making the trip north to watch his dad ride since he was a nipper. A first class winner, his experience will come in handy for British Ladies Trials Champion Becky Cook. Craig will be her minder on the 2010 British and World Championship trail, and big events like the Scottish.
Before the main event, there's the not-so-small matter of the Scottish Pre-65 Two Day trial at Kinlochleven. Though no entry list is out at the time of writing, we're told Peter Collins, Doug Nolan (Stroud Valley), Dave Eeles, Chris Harvey (Cheltenham Home Guard), and Ian Wixon (West Glos) are in. And we'd hope former SSDT winner Steve Saunders (Zona 1) is on the list! He's likely to be Triumph twin mounted. You can find out more about his ride in his Classic Dirtbike magazine column (you'll have to buy it, it's not online).
