The Richmond clubs Scott Trial is on Saturday the 18th October.
Entries are in from Dougie Lampkin looking for his third consecutive win, Takahisa Fujinami experiencing his first Scott, Graham Jarvis hoping to score his eighth win and his first since 2005 together with Wayne Braybrook trying for a second victory and Michael Brown and James Dabill going for their first win, makes for a fascinating Saturday of trial spectating.
The event is organised by the Richmond Motor Club at Swaledale Yorkshire. The Scott trial is a time and observation event run over an off road course of approximately 70 miles. The riders lose marks for "footing" in the 70 or so observed sections and for finishing behind the fastest rider who sets standard time. Marks used to be lost at the rate of 1 mark per minute but this has been relaxed to 1 mark every 2 minutes.
It has been described as the greatest test of man and machine and is an event in which the clubman riders can still compete on the same course as top international stars
