    Hope to be at round 2. Can’t afford the money or time to do the whole series. I’ll be riding a Prophet with 150mm Revelations, same bike I used for Enduro racing last year.

    Hoping to do 2 or maybe 3 rounds, didn’t do it last year but looks like my kinda thing. Will be on a BFe with 160mm lyriks (though I may shim them down to 150 or 140 at some point).

    Not sure what I’ll be riding as I need to buy a bike. It’ll be something with 150 or 160mm travel.

    Look in the “shop”
    It’s £35 per race for an individual. I’m thinking I’ll do these races. Probably on my 5 spot w/36s.

    Hopefully, though I dunno which ones yet. If I do I’ll be on either an Mmmbop with Pikes or a Hemlock with Lyriks, depending which is working at the time…

    I quite fancy giving it a go, but with place names like ‘moor and ‘plain is it not closer to a really short XC time trial?

    Will be riding the same Zesty i use for xc endurance and the Mega… only one bike but I switch forks out… Team Revs for xc and Bos Deville for gnarlly and will be getting some off set shock mounts for more options…

    I see these events as a good way of testing myself and gauging my progress… for some reason I never ride well when racing but have good pace when out riding for fun.

    Just seen the Gravity Enduro dates, tempted by the Dyfi and CyB ones too.

    But by the time I add all the fees up I could almost have afforded to go to the Alps instead.

    I will be having a crack at some enduros this year. I’ll be riding this:

    160mm front 130mm rear. Chumba xcl

    I’m going to have a go at a few, good news for other competitors as that’s at least one person you can beat ! Hopefully there is a special category for slow old gits.

    Giant Reign and a slack hardtail if I buy one, I’ll try both.

    The Fusion X Enduro 1 series look/sound more xc trail and h/tail friendly, so will probably use the 456 summer season with 130 fork,dropper post, 2×10 etc.

    Where as the 661 series, looks abit more gravity assisted, so will use the T120s with dropper post, 1×10 etc,,,,,,,

    Scott Scale will go on ebay…………..
