[Closed] 8 hour enduro event at Drumlanrig on 7th July 2012

i've just got the go ahead from the estate but need to crunch numbers etc to work out a price for entry etc so don't ask me that yet... but it'll be well cheaper than the Kirro event was going to be.

I'm pretty sure that'll be well supported, chapeau for taking on the challenge.

Don't forget that this is on on the same day.

You may have stiff competition- why not have it a week or two later?

Glad you got the go ahead. Posted a link to here on Facebook to spread the word. If there's owt I can do to help then give me a shout.

Yup, very interested in this - will either enter as a solo or in a pair.

Sounds like a goer, reckon I'm in- good work, cheers!

OP - What do you mean by it being an enduro? Will it not just be how many laps can ve done in the said time?
The eight hours could be a good and make more folk try it solo...I for one wouldn't fancy twelve hours, but eight could be achievable.
Someone said that the Strathpuffer lite could affect numbers. Hell, they're miles from each other. I'd like a go at the 'Lite but I wouldn't drive all the way up there for it.

Yeah, move it back a week so it doesn't clash with the Strathpuffer thing (or the Stockton Cycling Festival that I've already entered) would love to do an 8 hour race that's not too far from me! Cheers.

Definately up for this. Rik - can you get in touch, we met at the Glentress Innovation thing a few weeks ago, I'm organising the Triathlon Enduro thing at Drumlanrig in September - paul 'at' durtyevents.com

I'd be keen man. sure there will heaps of interest

Thanks Rik ... I'm definitely in. Can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing.

Have stuck it on my Facebook and a few forums Rik. Hope it takes off 🙂

Oh oh thall be top notch . Love drum ! Might even come along to that despite not being fit enough haha

Good man

Cheers all, I'll be sorting out all the licencing and stuff next week so expect posters and an an entry form by next Friday once I've figured out how much everythings gonna cost.

I know it clashes with the Pufferlite but have spoke to Steve and reckon that there's enough of the country in between.

The week after is the Tough Mudder so that doesn't work, in fact that's how we're getting to camp onsite as they'll already have the stock off the events field for that, otherwise that wouldn't happen for a wee event like ours. The Mudder is expecting 7000 people each day.... wow!!!

Pow'r tae yer pedals

Rik

might have to make a northerly raid back to my folks for this

Hi Rik

Sounds awesome good for you !

I will be available if you need helpers on the day ( and if you remember and tell me when/where to turn up this time :}

I have qulaifications/experience at marshalling, registration and general ordering people about.

Hels - that would be awesome

You should post this over on Scotland's MTB forum - http://www.trailscotland.co.uk/forums

Have done so....

bump

there's a load of single speed racey types over this way that'll come and play.

Seeing as there's an SS cat, you should make this the Scottish Singlespeed Championships.

It would be nice to race there again, after SSUK was held there a few years ago on an ace course.

Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out for the finalised details

if there's beer and absinthe to be drunk I'm there like a shot 😀

Hey Rik Myself and Mandi are interested, would do a mixed SS pairs 🙂

Deffo up for this, Drumlanrig is an awesome venue for an enduro, the jungle drums are beating. Will spread the word in the PCC.

This sounds great, i'll keep my eye out for the final instructions and entries.

Will you be posting them on here?

sounds good, can you register in morning and camping for sat night if so im there!!

I'll be up for this Rik, just need a partner now. I'll watch here for further details

I'll do this event. Was booked in for 10@ kirroughtree anyway so yes, count me in!

Probably want to post on xc racer forum too!

I'll give it a go. I love the trails there so to ride them for 8 hours should be a laugh......and probably a bit of vomit!!

Sounds like a great event Rik,should be a great technical course with the trails you have there,
Hope all is going well for you, Drumlanrig was on TV the other day.

Take care, Paul @ Thetford MTB Racing

I'll be there and will drum up a few others, canny wait 😀

I done the relentless 24 hr a few years back and am getting back into enduro count me in

I just found a link to this thread from elsewhere. Probably deserves a bump as I hadn't heard of this anywhere else yet.

Tempted, as I had planned on doing 10@kirro.

I'm up for it

Any further news?

Pretty sure its on, there is another thread I think.

Glad this looks to be going ahead. How do we sign up?

Was at Drumlanrig last weekend and Rik confirmed it was going ahead. He said he was going to try and get some details out this week. Sure he will post details up here.

Looking forward to it with 10@kirro not happening.

Thanks, moray cup. Well done to Rik for getting this going.

I'm defo up for this. Had a go at 10@kirro last year. Crap result but loved it. Was gonna try again this year so I'm defo up for this. Anyone know when entry opens? Not that far away now

I'll 2nd the waiting for instructions/entries

waited too long for details so gone with the pufferlite
