Anyone doing this - just noticed its on this weekend.
What is involved in an Enduro - say the 3hr one - Just a 3 hour race? Never done any racing/events before.
I'll be there but only in a pit support role for a mate. As many laps as you can do in three hours I guess. Not sure how long a lap is yet mind.
so its not one of these downhill things with timed sections? Never done anything like this before and I'm tempted to go and have a look but not if its all XC whippets on 80mm carbon hardtails and lycra.
I'd be interested to see how many people turn up for this one. heard nothing about it on any forums really, and I imagine its costing a fair bit to put on....
I'm there doing 6hrs solo. 9 km laps, so might get a bit repetitive 😕
I'm a bit of a whippet and will be in lycra as it's my comfiest gear for 6 hrs. I'm on no 80 mm carbon HT though; I'm on my 140 mm 456!!!
I have a mate who's marshalling but noone else I know is going.
Likewise, I haven't heard much on forums, though about putting a shout out to see if anyone else is going, but you beat me to it 😛
*bump* for the night before.
It's going to be a wee bit wet over there, eh?
Last minute roll call? Anyone?
eh? what? when did this turn up, has this been advertised at all? gutted, id have loved to do this but far to late to get organised. Once again crap advertisment by a race organiser.
Got a couple of mates riding.agreed on the crap advertising though.was surprised when I heard it was still going on.might head up in the afternoon and see what's going on.

/edit - ditto on the advertising. I heard of it through one mate and saw a poster in the EBC newcastle shop, which is more than I've seen from any other event, excepting online advertising.
Any reports on how this went?! Didnt make it up in the end.
I think JonT won the enduro, I was there at the prize giving bit and it didn't look like there were to many around, pity it was a cracking day weather wise.
Wasn't racing BTW.
Shame really. Events at Kielder are usually really well attended. I reckon it's a function of the lack of advertising, which is probably due to the lack of time they perhaps had to organise it?
Mate said only 10 people rode in the six hour?
