Scottish Enduros1999 - 2019

It's the 20th Anniversary of the Enduro website - 1999 - 2019.

Welcome to Scottish Enduros 2019. This site was set up in 1999 as an introduction to the sport. It now contains information on events, results who to contact and profiles of some of the top Scottish Riders.
The big event each year is the ISDE (in Portugal in 2019) and there will be several training and fund raising days over the season.

Please note that there is no right of access to Scottish forests for trail riding and that unauthorised use may endanger our sport. Ensure you have permission to ride before you go. For a good summary of rights in Scotland see John Rushworths 1999 article stored on this site ( this was pre Land Reform Act so is only a guide ) - click here.

As there have been 2 rounds lost this year - hopefully there will be 10 rounds in total. A rider can score their best 8 rounds over the season.

3 rounds to go and all to play for in a tight season. Andrew Bisset and Fergus Lamb are having a close fought contest just seconds apart in the Experts. Ben Thomson and Andrew Currie having a battle for 3rd place.

In the Over 40's there are three riders pushing for the lead - Alan Davidson, his fellow bus rider Richie Finnie and James Harvey - always a threat.

Clubman rider Jordan Hayes has found his form and put in a good winning streak to take the lead with 3 rounds to go. Ben McLuskey is close behind and has already dropped a round for the season. Ryan Jones and Steven Currie Jnr contesting 3rd place.

Over 50 riders are missing Andrew Maben - but Neil McGrgeor, Andy Dean, Bill Bruce and Richard Williams are all locked in a tight contest for the class lead.

Clubman B Class is lead by George McBeth with Alan Carson and Carl Jones looking for any slip in the leader.

Sportsman leaderRobert Graham has found his form and looks to have won the class already with a big points point lead. The rest of the class is still open with 3 rounds to go.

Melville 2 Day Enduro at Heriot on 27th/28th July - a new venue on new ground

Kenny and his team put a lot of effort into the new venue and the course stood up well to the torrential rain. With a one hour delay to allow the worst of the rain to clear the riders set off on the new course though woodland and across farmland and moors.

There was a tight test in the trees with a few roots exposed during the day. Thanks to the local community who opened up the hall and provide breakfasts - hopefully we can get back next year.

Provisional Saturday results - Experts won by Andrew Bisset by 1.7 seconds from Fergus Lamb . This a very competitive season with both riders at the top of their game and finishing mere seconds apart after 4 - 5 hours of racing. Ben Thomson finished in 3rd

Following yesterdays snow the ground was a bit damp in places but the course held up with some work from the club. A tough start to the year and a good one to get your fitness sorted. A lot of tired riders - but a lot of smiles.

There was a short euology by Campbell Chatham before the race in memory of Jim Ballantine - Jim would have approved of the event - thats what Enduros are about !.

Thanks to Stevie Currie and his hard working crew for getting the season started .

Advice for securing bikes - chain them to the floor or a wall in a garage or secure shed. Remove wheel spindles so the bike can't be pushed away. If in an outside shed use a baby monitor so you can hear if anyone is in the shed. Alarm your bike store. Keep helmets separate so they cant use them to ride away.

Avoid having bike specific stickers on your vehicle if it is parked at your house.

When selling a bike - before you show the buyer the bike photograph them and their vehicle. Take a photo of their driving licence.

Remove a wheel spindle and disconnect the spark plug before they arrive. Do not give any documents until cheque or cash is paid into bank. If the buyer objects - say goodbye.

If possible ask your local police station if you could sell the bike at their premises - crooks will not want to be at a Police Station.

At events - Safety advice. Check your vehicles for trackers before you leave. Watch out for any vehicles following you. At events photograph any suspicious people or vehicle taking an interest in bikes.

NOTE ON HELMETS - IMPORTANT. Check before you turn up at an event

Helmets will only pass scrutinering for racing if they carry an ACU gold or silver sticker attached. All helmets sold as suitable for "ACU competition" will have the stamp affixed by the dealer.

If your helmet does not have an ACU sticker attached contact the dealer to ask for the sticker. Helmets can be assessed by the ACU or SACU by posting in the helmet and paying a �15 certification fee - which includes return postage.

Helmet or body mounted cameras are prohibited. Cameras may be mounted on the motorcycle.

Check the regs in the 2019 ACU Handbook - https://www.acu.org.uk/ridersmembers/acu-handbook.aspx

If you want more riding - the North East of England Championship rounds are well worth doing . Enduro and XC. See http://www.enduro-neec.org.uk/ for more info and a calendar.

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.
