Rock garden obligatory, beards optional.

“We are pleased to announce that Transition Bikes via its UK distributor Windwave have come on board as the title sponsor for the new 2016 Southern Enduro series.

Each event will be a one-day race with practice in the morning and racing in the afternoon. The stages will be “predominately downhill with a mix of technical singletrack and fast flowy trails.

Entries will go live on 19th December where you can buy an entry for all rounds in one go for £160. There are 100 of those available. You can enter the individual races two months before each event at £42.50 each.”

David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly. Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
