The Pre-65 is unmissable for any vintage trials fan - not only does ithave a fantastic display of bikes in a phenomenal setting, it usuallygets two full days of sunshine too, so get your holidays booked now!
On Sunday, May 4, the SSDT takes over Fort William, kicking off thetrial with a parade of all 275 participants in the main event throughthe town and finishing in the Parc Ferme, where the bikes are lockedaway for the night in preparation for the hard week ahead.
