YoKaiser, there are few bits that are the same, but none of the stages are the same as the SES round last year, they are however much more “Enduro” than the first year we ran it. The SES in Dunkeld was a harder and more technical course than what we run, but it probably was one of the hardest Enduro’s going in terms of difficulty in the wet conditions they had. Our course certainly isn’t easy, but it’s designed to be run blind so you won’t find something to fully kill you unexpectedly, just make you excited to be on a bike. You can expect the trails to be as difficult as a normal SES round, but with less pedalling in the actual stage its self, we try and keep any uphills to a minimum in the stage.
Nobeerinthefridge, only the mast trail is closed on Newtyle the other two are open along with the rest around the hills, Craig Vinean is riding particularly good just now as it takes ages to dry out, and it’s currently very dry!
