PMBA Enduro Round 2 Approaching Fast

Just a few weekends hence, on June 3rd and 4th, it’s round two of the PMBA Enduro. Entries are still open at this link, though registration is required to see them, and registration closes at midday on June the 1st: https://www.sientries.co.uk/series.php?series_id=183

Round 1 was apocalyptically wet, as this video shows, but we’re happy to report that all the trails around Singletrack Towers, from Lee Quarry to Havok Bike Park, have been baking to dust for about a month. Even with a bit of rain incoming later this week, you’re probably in for much drier, firmer trails than everyone got at Gisburne.

If you want to know more about the Lee Quarry+Havok round last year, check out Matthew Woodall’s 2016 report, but I’ve been waiting for an excuse to share this spectacular PMBA moment from Round 4 at Graythwaite Hall last year:

Rd 3 Stage 1 -4

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.

    Had a sneaky practice last wekend at Lee/Havok. Everything is dry as a bone (bet it changes before the Enduro though!). Was my first time at either location, despite them only being 20 miles or so away from me. Shall be heading back to Havok for sure 🙂
