The Scott Trial has been held since 1914 and is regarded as the hardest 1 day motorcycle event there is! I can testify to this having twice had a go and breaking down on both attempts.
The trial starts just outside Richmond in North Yorkshire and consists of a 75 mile loop completely off road, with 75 observed sections. What makes this trial different is that the fastest man round the course sets the time limit so everyone after him is late and gets penalties. The winner usually finishes in about 5 hours and this year out of the 200 starters there were 60 riders who finished in time!
I had just taken delivery of my new cameras so it was the perfect opportunity to try them them out. After the 1st group of sections it absolutely threw it down with rain so the cameras stayed in the car.
