Good vid that. But 2017 season’s still not finished, have patience!

(Muckmedden have good taste in riders, this guy is particularily handsome and his bike looks fab…)

Not sure what I’ll be doing next year. Kinlochleven enduro if it runs again (which it bloody should, it’s awesome), couple of Scottish rounds… I’m thinking Pitfichie and Fort William and maybe Dunoon again. And anything else that looks interesting, maybe PMBA at Kirroughtree.

And the Endurance Downhill! Which isn’t really an enduro at all, but I think ought to appeal to a lot of #enduroists. Tickets are on “sale” just now, they’re looking for 80 sign-ups before committing so it’s a £0 presale. 8th July, can’t recommend this one too highly, still the best races I’ve ever done:

I’ll be plugging this every couple of weeks for the next few months, deal with it 😉 It needs to go ahead

Afraid not. I’m a new addition to the Cakeriders 🙂

Here is the vid for non facebookers, Cheers for the share Kimbers

There is more going on nearish to me than I realised (I’m deep South, near Worthing). Anyone like to recommend a series for a 48 year old who isn’t very fast down a hill. Would I just be in the way at a Southern Enduro, is Pedalhounds more easy going? Or just do as many as I can afford and hope I pick up some competence along the way?

Now I’m in Bristol and not London anymore, I finally don’t have to travel for hours to get to races anymore which is amazing. So I’m likely to stay more local, doing some of the mini downhill races this year and early next. Then hopefully:

Full welsh enduro series
Full mini enduro
Select Welsh Gravity enduro
South West Southern Enduro race

And then probably a few others in the south west, if anything interesting pops up in South Wales or the south west, especially at new or more natural venues (i.e Triscombe).

Looking back at previous replies seems likesome decent events to consider across Scotland in 2017.

Also @Phil_H you are not that new to the cakeriders. Plus @Northwind the mentioned cakeriders have another alps jaunt planned for 2017.

Thanks kimbers

“southern series has a sport category”

I was eyeing up the ‘Fun’ category

Fun category is perfect, good introduction to enduro.

Just signed up to the Endurance downhill race. Missed out on the free entree by 10 places! Will do it on my DH bike though as thats what its for!

Definitely doing the Macavalanche again this year too, that was an amazing day last year! No fuss do put on some great events!

That did cross my mind but Im getting too old for that soft of thing I reckon. A couple of runs down Fort Bill fair enough, but 6 odd hours? Think I will go FS!

Theres no free entries I think – just the first 80 is buy now pay later to sort out whether its viable or not.

That’s what I thought but it doesn’t actually say that I think? Doesn’t make any sense for it to actually be free though. I’m expecting to pay for it, put it that way, and I count it as cheap at the price (don’t tell Frazer!)

@superfli does the French series have a Facebook page ?

@scott nice video and best of luck, ’twill be on the wishlist again this year

This may help, came down today

Abigale did the French one in Les Orres this year, it was a qualifier event for next years EWS. It was run very efficiently by the Tribe team

Tracey/superfli thanks, page liked

At the moment I’m in for

Vallelujah
Macavalanche
Ard Moor

On top of that I’ll do

Fort William, Laggan, Dunoon and Inners at the SES
Highland Perthshire Enduro if it’s on
Fair City Enduro
Red Bull Foxhunt

I heard on Saturday that the Cream O’ The Croft festival/ race is no longer happening. Apparently someone has bought a big chunk of land at Comrie and is building a house on it so no more camping there (on that spot at least). A real shame as it was a great event last year.

Probably more to do with that ballbag who ran the ‘national’ there earlier this year & didn’t pay them or anyone else, then went bust.

It was hard enough to race there anyway, now there is no chance.

Ard Rock
Datatag UK National Enduro Champs
Boltby Bash
and hopefully a few more PMBA races

If my body stays together !

Nice one Kimbers 😀
