Comment
In 1906 The Motor Cycling Club's gold medal was awarded to those who could compete the 391 mile journey from London to Edinburgh inside 24 hours. The fastest finisher was Tom Woodman (22h 38m) riding a Vindec Special motor-bicycle. Muriel Hind completed the trial in 22h 52m driving a 9 hp Singer Tricar with a female passenger.
This medal was awarded in 1909, when the target time seems to have been reduced to 23 hours.
