On Saturday 24th October I will be the first person ever to attempt to complete the Scott Trial on an enduro bike.  It has been described as the greatest test of man and machine, and that's on a machine made for the job!  I will be riding 86 miles of off road (which should be the easy part) and 76 observed trials sections on my Eurotec Fat Cat MotoParc KTM 250 exc.  The historic event is based on time and observation and in past years there have been as little as 20 finishers.

Why am I doing this?  I am raising money for the North West Air Ambulance that saved the life of a close family friend.  The Air Ambulance relies totally on public donations.  It receives no central government funding or lottery funding, yet provides a service 7 days per week, 365 days a year.  The importance of this service to on and off road bikers is vital, as many of you will realise.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

So please dig deep and donate now to help the North West Air Ambulance save more lives.
