September 22rd 2013 will see the 8th Forest of Dean Enduro at Pedalabikeaway, Cannop Valley, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire GL16 7EH. Hosted by The Lions Club with the Royal Dean Forest Cycling Club.
This year the lap distance increases to over 11 miles with classes for 1, 2 or 4 laps for individuals or teams of 4. Team riders will be set off at the same time, so can either ride together or race each other, with combined times deciding the winning teams.
The course comprises single track with some connecting fire road and the challenging sections have alternative routes for those not comfortable with the more extreme parts of the course.

This year’s course has been tweaked again to avoid crossing the Downhill Runs in Sallow Vallets, so more climbing and a new downhill to the start/finish area.
Chocolate Cup Cakes await the finishers. Water stops, breakdown cover, first aid and prizes for the various classes are provided.
All profits go to good causes in and around the Forest of Dean, including a significant donation to Dean Trail Volunteers (£1000 in 2011/12) who maintain the MTB trails in the Forest.
The event is sponsored by Pedalabikeaway where bike wash, shower and cafe facilities are available. Car parking is provided at Cannop and at Beechenhurst now linked to Cannop by a new bridge.
