The Edinburgh Trial 2024 Excelsior Stage

The heritage trial that dates back to 1904, when motorcyclists had 24 hours to get from central London to Edinburgh city centre. Today the route takes in the glorious Peak District National Park, as well as parts of Staffordshire and Cheshire. The deserted minor roads and outstanding views across the White and Dark Peaks in the National Park set the trial apart from all others. The Excelsior stage is the first after breakfast following a long night of tackling gnarly minor roads and tracks of the Peak District. It is nick-named 'The Tough One' for a reason.
