Who we are
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.
What we do
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."

EXETER TRIAL CENTENARY CELEBRATION
28 and 29 May 2010
This is another chance to enjoy one of our not-too-serious trials where a love for nostalgia is perhaps rather more important than a thirst for competition. The trial is centred on the Gipsy Hill Hotel, just off the M5 to the east of Exeter. Those competitors who elect to tackle the whole course will leave on the Friday evening to complete an overnight route taking in many traditional hills to the east of the city. Returning in time for breakfast they will be joined by those who elect for the day section only to complete another loop, this time to the west. There will be a celebration dinner in the evening and a social run to Sidmouth the next (Sunday) morning.
The entry pack for the Exeter Centenary Celebration
