how did it compare to the tweedlove scottish enduro trails ?
i managed to ride the scottish open blind (due to childcare on the sat)i was out my depth often so chickened out of this and now regretting it.
passed through innerleithen and seen the state of the riders ! i did have a wee laugh to y self and thought thank fek .. well done to all
stuartanicholson - yep my tyre choice was not the best 🙂 cheers for the info. As Northwind said the day was not for me but in no way was it a criticism of the event or trail choices. I am maybe a bit annoyed with myself for a few reasons. Nobody likes their weaknesses exposed for all to see 🙂

More technical, certainly at Cademuir. Nothing overly technical at the weekend, the conditions made up the challenge.
S2 is mostly a 20yr old DH track so would hold up.
Why not just run the "Old School DH" track from top to bottom? It started on that then veered off. The main track would have stood up better in the weather and it's a good challenge with some bonkers fast bits.
BoardinBob...It was an 'Enduro' race so we felt it needed some physical sections. Plus variety is the spice of life...
anyone know if there will be a day/night enduro at inners this year? just thinking about one more event before engaging slob mode for the winter.
bigjim...no day/night this year. One more event...www.vimeo.com/109442500
Awesome weekend, big thanks to event organisers. It was a tough challenge but course was a real good mix. Weather just added the final spice to it all.... Got to expect no less from Scotland in October.
No matter what one thought of the tracks at the weekend, the mountain bike community should be hugely grateful to Rich and Hels (and all at IMTBR) for what they have done for racing in the Tweed Valley.
My first introduction to racing at Inners was an IMBTR day/night enduro several years ago. Since then I have moved to the Valley because of the quality of riding around and the great, relaxed vibe that surrounds riding in the Tweed Valley.
I for one cannot thank them enough, and the help Hels has given me along the way when it came to running the marshalling the EWS last year was invaluable. I hope that their 'retirement' allows them to enjoy riding their bikes more 😀
Three cheers for Rich, Hels and IMTBR 😆
