Riders entered in this year’s Scott Trial may be asking themselves if they are ready for the big day next Saturday. Is the bike ready, spares and fuel ready, waterproofs, energy drinks, jelly babies?! Is the rider ready, bike fit and mindset ready? Let’s hope the answer is ‘yes’ to all these as Scott Trial 2016 draws nearer.

With only a handful of days to go until The 2016 Scott Trial, The Clerk of The Course and all his assisting teams are busy plotting the route. To help spectators plan their day, please be aware that the route (OPRA) which crosses Telfit Moor to Helwith between co-ordinates NZ093012 and NZ070428 has now been closed to all motorised vehicles by North Yorkshire County Council Highways department. Please also remember we are using the Scott Trial one way system from Reeth via Healaugh to Surrender Bridge, By Pass and Grand Canyon, bringing you out at the CB Inn. Please follow the signs, as they are there to make your day easier. There will be catering units and toilet facilities in various places around the course, this and lots more information can be found in this year’s programme which is on sale now in the usual outlets. Richmond Motor Club would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a great day’s trialling and look forward to seeing you all at the Cricket Club for the presentation.

SCOTT TRIAL CHARITY AUCTION 2016
With just over a week to this year’s Scott Trial, donations are coming in for the Scott Trial Charity Auction, which will be held on the evening of the trial, prior to the Results and Awards Presentation at Richmondshire Cricket Club.
A full list of auction items will be published over the next few days, but in the meantime we are very grateful to Edinburgh & District Motor Club SSDT Committee who have generously donated a guaranteed paid up 2017 entry in The Scottish Six Days Trial. Come along to the charity auction and bid to skip the SSDT ballot with a paid for guaranteed ride.
We are also very grateful to Edinburgh & DMC’s Pre ’65 Scottish Trial Committee who have promised a guaranteed ride for 2017 Pre ’65 Trial (not paid and please note that bike must meet criteria for trial). This is another fantastic opportunity to jump the ballot for this popular trial.
If you would like to place a bid but are unable to come to the auction please email secretary@richmondmotorclub.com with your bid.
Thank you to everyone else who has donated auction items this year – keep an eye out for an updated list over the next few days.
