PMBA Enduro – Entries live! Im in, who else?

Rd1 sold out, holy smoke!

What’s the stw team name? I feel an edit to my entry is in order…

Good work Kev

All relaxed on the day, transitions are not timed just the stages

Phew. Sounds good. Now just need to drag some mates along!

round 1 and 2 booked. see you all there

Rounds 1,2,3,4 and 6 booked. Cant wait!

Bo##**~s!! Went playing football and missed rd1 entry. Just booked round 2 though. May come and watch rd1 to size up the competition for the wooden spoon

STW group – will post something up nearer the time and meet in the car park beforehand and we’ll just shove our names down to go around in the same group / split into two groups adjacent to each other 😀

@Davey sounds good.

I’ll be wearing a red carnation, a full face and goggles 😀

@Davey – if the ladies can also join that be good, as at the moment think I am coming on my own (to be absolutely destroyed by the 17 year old machine that is Abigail!!)

Missed out on Round 1, was convinced I could wait til payday to enter. Not so. Have entered Round 2. Will keep an eye out for anyone selling place for Gisburn though.

I’m sure Abigale wont be destroying anybody, she would love to get to know other entrants for a bit of banter.

She should be riding her Enduro so if you see her please have a chat

Tell her to look out for me. Dont know what bike I’ll be riding at the moment (shopping mission currently); but very likely to involve a white helmet, 661 blue knee pads and purple shorts. I am very friendly and its my first enduro so a bit scared! As I’ll be 30 by then, I’d be in a somewhat older womens cat if they did divide them up!

Everyone welcome. I think they set people off in groups of 8ish last time so we could split across 2 groups. Once you’re out the start line its easy to ride together…

Looking forward to it!

Meet up sounds good. Lets open up this thread again a few days before to sort it out.

As I’ll be 30 by then, I’d be in a somewhat older womens cat if they did divide them up!

Oi! Less of that! I’m already distraught I have to enter into the Masters category, nevermind being told I’m ‘Somewhat older’!

just entered round 2. i messed up last night and lost the chance to get in round 1; possibly for the best as i need to work hard on my fitness! and I’m trying to decide whether to do it on my el guapo or splash out and get myself a transition scout by then…

work hard on my fitness

I assumed we were walking the transitions 😯 ?!

Also, are people camping / staying over, just going on the Sunday or commuting both days?

We are hoping that our camper has been delivered in time so we can use it. If not we will try and find overnight accommodation nearby.

I’m in Round 2… never done one before. Should be a laugh, will try not to break myself too badly.

Im just going Sunday.

haven’t given much thought to camping yet. i think i may just go up on the sunday though, but we’ll see. i only have a small car…

Will be there sat and sun, 80% chance of camping

format notes :

8am, sign and and pick a start time with your mates. groups of 10 every 5 minutes.

Go for a practice lap and ride all stages once

Lunch and discuss tactics and lines on stages

Afternoon – at your time your group sets off.

Race stage 1 when you get there, 20-30 sec gaps between riders, transponder timing, no dibbing.

Regroup with mates and ride to stage 2 wheeling out your best excuses on why you didnt catch your mate in front …

Repeat for other stages

Get back, hand in your transponder – get your instant printout of times.

Compare with mates, re-tell the excuses.

stay for presentation, hope you get a spot prize. Details to be confirmed but you could be 13th, 42nd or 99th and get a spot prize 🙂 So doesnt really matter where you finish 🙂

any questions just ask.

Thanks Kev, that’s a really helpful. Probably convinced me just to come up on a Sunday.

One question, what’s “dibbing”?

“Dibbing”

Many enduro’s, including ours last year used dibber timing on the stages. At the start you place your electronic card on a box to “dib” it beeps and you set off, then at the finish to place the timing card on the finish box to get a finish time. Repeat at all stages.

We now have transponder timing, you roll past the start box, and fly past the finish box.
