the Kielder enduro is/was ace - the best race format i've experienced*.
i'm very excited about a whole series! - i reckon my hemlock will be perfect...
(*cruise up the hills, have a rest, watch some racing, heckle your friends, have a snack, get in line, get nervous, ride at full tilt for 4 mins, repeat 6 times)

Really looking forward to it, bought a Titus El Guapo for that very reason. To me it's the perfect form of mountain bike racing just need to find friends in the Oxfordshire region to do it with!! (go racing with I mean :lol:)

Where have you been reading about it?
Posted 1 year ago # -
There's a Facebook group for it, the proper website doesn't appear to be up and running yet.
I hope to do a couple of rounds, I've done Avalanche Enduros at AE and Keilder and really enjoyed them, great racing format and a lot of fun.

I'm 1 of the organisers of the Gravity Enduro, have just seen on here some of you are looking for lift share's etc..... If you need anything posting on the facebook page let me know, hopefully we can hook you up a lift or whatever else you need.
The website is under construction as we speak, should go online towards end December, entries will be online as well
Cheers

Steve,
Are you linked to the enduro event at Inners in January?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm not linked directley to the event at Inners, but the route they run then will be very similar to our planned route

Looking forward to this. Me and a mate will hopefully be doing the Scottish rounds.

What bike ton?

Mr Plow - Thought you would appreciate it.
Wors - The stages/venues are based mainly at trail centres, so if you can ride the trails there, then yes you will be ok on a hardtail, but and it is a big but
some of the sections will be specific to the Enduro ie - running sections the wrong way or natural singletrack sections.we have tested different stages at different venues with a good cross section of riders, most have come back with a grin bigger than a cheshire cat, some have not.
What I'm trying to say is, You won't know until you try it for yourself, even better join the facebook group and hook up with us for 1 of the testing daysPosted 1 year ago # -
That looks fun. I've stuck the dates in the diary and subscribed to the page.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I really need to sign up to a couple of these races. sounds like my perfect race. haven't fancied the kona mash-up what with timing issues...
will try to get along to one of the test days.Posted 1 year ago # -
wors..........remedy 8 i think mate.
been to look at a couple...very nice.Posted 1 year ago # -
I fancy having a bash at a couple of these, sounds good. Will sign up to the facebook page.
