So far the only races i've actually entered are the EWS's in Whistler & Les Orres.
Probably need to get on with entering a few more.
So, I’ve signed up for all of the BEMBA races so far, except the No Fuss one. I’m hoping that will be announced soon though. No one has heard any more Info about this?
They are annoying today apparently. I can confirm is a really cool venue that wasn't used by UKGE or BES. I can also confirm is a really long drive for me (if I go).

Give them a break Scott, we all have our bad days sometimes 😀
An even longer drive for me so I definitely won't be doing it. Exciting to have a brand new venue for the series though.
I popped an email to the No Fuss Events guys yesterday asking if they knew when an announcement was due. Have entered the other five and would like to do this one too, but any spare weekends are getting quickly snappw up with other things so need to get it in the calendar ASAP.
Would be good if the BEMBA site could also be updated to give some information on the series as it is only currently available on regurgitated press releases.
I'll keep my eyes peeled, if anyone has a link that would be good. I also found it slightly strange that there are no details of the races on the BEMBA site.
I thought it was because each area organizer was responsible for the running and marketing of their event on behalf of the series, the ones that my daughter has entered have been booked that way
It says Kinlochleven on the NoFuss website
ENDURO - KINLOCHLEVEN
EVENT DATE: 15/6/2019 - 16/6/2019
We are delighted that we will be in Kinlochleven for 2019, after the successs of the venue and the amazing feedback from riders over the years. We know that everyone enjoys the stages and that real mountain feel that you get in Kinlochleven and in the Highlands. We are doubally delighted that this round will be the Round 4 of the BEMBA Championships a real fitting venue for this all new national series.

Maybe for distance but not time. M25 is not the one.

Great shout, I will get that done.
I’m in for the first 3 rounds of the Welsh Enduro Series. Will more than likely enter the remaining 2 rounds when entries open. First couple of rounds don’t exactly play to my strengths, but should be fun.
Kinlochleven's a long way, 8.5 hours for me, but then there is the Minehead round for the Northeners to drive to. The tracks look really good up there though, so I think it will be worth taking a few days off for, and riding some other stuff whilst up there.

Ha maybe. I wouldn't fancy the M25 for sure. It has taken me 12 hours to drive to races in the Lakes and Scottish Borders though thanks to traffic on the M5 and M6. It's drives like that that make you question racing for fun sometimes 😀
I wanted to do either Megavalanche or the EWS Challenger event at Finale in 2019. Missed Mega as I ddin't realise entries opened a month earlier than last year, and the EWS isn't running a Challenger event (now called EWS 80) at Finale.
So, decided to keep things closer to home and race the Southern Enduro Triscombe round and some of the mini DH events at Wind Hill.

Still not been to Windhill, that needs to happen in 2019.

The EWS event at Finale this year is the Trophy of Nations - national team event.
Although if you can muster up 3 of you, anyone can enter it. Actually sounds like a good crack. We will be out there for it, but just riding this year - quite like to go to Finale to do a bit more exploring without the pressure of a race right in the middle of a holiday 🙂
This has been a long time coming after planning it for 2017 then 2018 now finally it's happening.

That looks like a good series, Cant make the 1st but I may book to race at the other 2. What is the riding like at Grogley? steep, flowey? rooty? Rocky?

steep in places, not very rocky. hope its dry...
is it using hustyns and bishops as well or just grogley?
Stoked for the SW Series! Grogley is my local spot - will be great not to have to travel half a day minimum to do a race.
Also stoked for the SW series, might enter every round! @scottfitz when it says Exmoor is this a different venue to the Southern Enduro champs?

hustyns and grogley
Exmoor is this a different venue to the Southern Enduro champs?
Yes but not the steep stuff (No FC Land)
Yeah keen on the SW series. I reckon it should get a good turn out. Helpful for me as a Dad aswell with it being single day racing.
Interested to see how the Haldon round is laid out as the rangers there have never been that keen on racing there.

Interestingly they (well the management) are super keen.
Well entry to the Transcend just went in, time to step up the training

Jealous about that one, it will be an ace event for sure.
Can anybody access round 4 of the Welsh Enduro? It says on their FB page it should be open, but doesn’t appear on sientries?

I've not been directly involved with any building up there for a few years now so that is good news if they are. Last time i was there was a definate dislike for enduro racing (they seem(ed) keen on the XC stuff though) and they put a hard stop to us building any other trails at all.
Abigale opted for the Transcend this year along with the Vallelujah. However now Uni have allowed time off for the first two EWS races it looks like Vallelujah is off and out trip up North in March cancelled.
Not looking good for me this season. Not getting on my bike nearly enough and I fear I'll suffer in the upcoming season 🙁
Who is in for League of Nations/six nations / championship plaoyff final in Finale then? Entry open NOW
Think the Industrys teams will have been sorted. We will be going down to watch and take in some riding. Just a small detour south from Zermatt
Well that's me entered into Round 4 of the Welsh Enduro Series @ Llanfyllin on 25th August.
Will be my first Enduro - mildly bricking it already lol.

Thought about it, as we're out there anyway, but already doing the 2 EWS's I wanted to, and this is just as expensive to race.
I'd rather have a week of riding anything and everything than have to spend 4 days around a race & managing it accordingly.
I'm sure we will watch some on race day though 🙂
Thank you Dirk. I’m now in too, although that weekend could be a bit tricky! Don’t worry Welsh Enduro was my first enduro too (not counting Boltby Bash). It’s very friendly and low pressure - well it is at my end of the results list anyway 😂
I’ll likely be entering Rd 4 of the WES @ Llanfyllin too. Already in for the first 3 rounds, just got to get the all clear on the date from my wife before committing.
Well I’m in for finale. Have a race in Norway the weekend before, should be good times.
WES Rd 4 entered 🙂
👍
@scottfitz Just looked at the website to check the cost of doing the full SW series, I can see each round listed but not one for the series?

@timbog160 Thanks, looking forward to it - I'll be at the back probably!
Thinking of entering the 'Degla round too as it's about the same distance from me.
Does the 'Degla round use the reds/blacks or is it off piste stuff?
Just need to get some sort of training in now lol
From what I can gather, previous Llandegla WES rounds have been almost entirely on the red/black trails with a tiny bit of off-piste to link a couple of sections.

Not doing an all in one this year because we couldn't sort out a discount for all rounds. We will work on it for next year.
Right that’s all three rounds of the South West Series entered. Looking forward to getting back to Exmoor twice as I’m also doing the Champs Lite. 🙂
