The Motor Cycling Club was founded in 1901 and is one of the very oldest clubs for the sporting motorist. We have over 1000 loyal and enthusiastic members who enjoy our own particular style of motor sport on two, three, or four wheels. Do not confuse us with the 'other MCC' which plays a game involving teams of eleven men in white flannels. To generations of motorsport enthusiasts there is only one MCC - The Motor Cycling Club.
We are known mainly for our three great long distance classic reliability trials - the Exeter Trial (held in early January), the Lands End Trial (held at Easter) and the Edinburgh Trial (held in early October). These have all been run since the first decade of the last century with the essential character unchanged and entries still numbered in the hundreds.
"Classic Trials are not just for Classic Cars, although many do take part ... what is classic is the format of the events."

During the Exeter classic reliability trial, on 7th January, there was an accident involving a car and its occupants. This happened near the village of Ilsington in Devon. One person was airlifted to hospital with what turned out to be no life threatening injuries. We would like to thank all those that helped with this incident and all those that showed concern.
