Get well soon to Tracey Currie - who managed to break not one but 2 arms while not avoiding a tree. But she can still text and use a phone.

And as I was not riding Sunday I got my usual evil snapper pic -

Did he save it ?- looks like he has gone deep into the corner. Answer later ...

And the other question - who is this man and why is he watching you ?

On Sunday 4th July, when some might be celebrating American Independence or watching ‘Le Tour’ from the comfort of their armchairs,  true mud worshippers were revelling in the challenging conditions at the first running of the Scottish Border Enduro Club’s Hare & Hound at Wollrig Farm, Ashkirk.  More ...

Event won by Fraser Norrie with Murray Thomson in 2nd

We hope that you enjoyed your day on Sunday, albeit a tad blustery with the odd shower!!  Certainly the feedback we've been getting has been very positive, which makes all the hard work that went into setting it up, worthwhile. 

 Thanks to our Colin Ross for writing a lap scoring programme, we are able to give you lap times as well. 

 As usual there is always "stuff" left behind so if you have lost something (excluding marbles) do get in touch.

The SACU Enduro Committee has selected the following riders for the ISDE Team after discussion with the ISDE Team Manager Sam Davidson. As always and due to the quality of our riders there may be changes if riders are selected for the British Teams. 

Last year was the best supported team ever and we were rewarded with a Gold medal and 2 Silvers - a great result. We hope to send as well supported a team again this year and hope all the riders and clubs will get behind the team. Any sponsors are very welcome to help the team.

Rules and Regs for 2010

Noise Limits for 2010. The official ACU/SACU limits for 2010 are  94 Db for Enduro - this is measured at 20cm. (85 Db measured at 2 metres).  There will be testing at events this year. Noisy bikes will be excluded in 2010 !! Clubs all have noise meters - so check it before you race

Note to all riders for 2010 - please ensure you have the correct number background for your class - KTM Orange does not count as a background!!   Expert - Red or green on all sides, Clubman and O-40 Yellow front, Sportsman Black front. . So now you will know you've been passed by a Sportsman !! It really helps the organisers on the course.

Experts

Clubman - Over 40 Sportsman

And a reminder to all riders. You must stop at the start of each Special Test to allow the timekeepers to record your number and to set the timing gear. If you don't stop you could miss having a lap recorded. And ensure you follow the marked route. If you miss a corner you must go back and rejoin the course at the point you left it. Any riders found by the Clerk of the Course off the marked route risk disqualifiaction.

If you find the sport is interesting and would like to ride or assist then contact a club as we are keen to attract new members to the sport.  There is an over 40's class and a Ladies award, so everyone  can get out and ride.

Enduros in Scotland are organised from March to October with events from the Borders to Inverness . All classes of rider are catered for with Expert, Clubman, Sportsman and over 40's classes.

To compete you  need to be a member of a club and either hold an SACU or ACU  licence - or can get a one day licence at the event. You need to send in an entry form prior to the event, entries are available on this site or from the host club. Events are published in  Trials & Motocross News. If you check the Calendar on this site the  dates and venues of events and training days are listed. The Contacts page has the addresses of the organising clubs.

The aim of Enduro Competition is to complete the course via several checkpoints in a set time. You may not check in early or late without penalty. Generally the top riders go "clean" and the event is then decided on the result of special test times. There will be one or two tests per lap of a moto-X or cross-country type. For the slower riders there is up to a one hour allowance over the set time for the course to achieve a finish.

Enduros are exactly what they say and even to finish is an achievement. So go on - try an event and get out on the hills. There is no other sport like it.

Please look round this site and if you need further information contact the relevant club or e-mail  webmaster @ scottishenduros . co .uk .

Finally, if you are tired of wet and muddy British events have a look at the holidays page. Desert riding or trail riding in Morrocco, Spain, France or Romania. Or the Desert Racing page for Dakar etc links
