newsacusml.jpg (9809 bytes)Pathhead Enduro - No Championship points to be awarded for this event.

 Click here for the full Enduro Committee bulletin.

Update 17th May

The Enduro Committee plus members of SACU Management will meet on Sunday to discuss the Pathhead Enduro.

The Chairman of Melville MC and the Clerk of the Course for the event have also been invited to attend. 5 riders to represent riders views have also been invited. These are Steven Currie Snr, Ross Hamilton, Richard Hay, Craig Jagla and Murray Thomson. Hopefully they will be able to attend and present the views of riders.

Melville MC have said a final set of results will be supplied for the meeting.

Update 16th May

Thank you to all the riders who have written in with appeals. These will be passed on to the Enduro Committee which is planned to meet next week to review the appeals and comments sent in.

Once I have confirmed the procedure for the meeting I will also ensure that interested parties are invited to attend.

Update 15th May.

The SACU has received comments from several riders regarding the withdrawal of points from the Pathhead Enduro. These comments have been  in support of the decision and also against the decision.

With the importance of this matter the Enduro Committee will review all the appeals and comments made. This will be done under the Appeals procedure for any decision made by an official.

Prior to this a final set of results will be sought from the Melville club taking in to account all the comments made by riders as to their finish position.

May 14th

Following comments from some riders who disagree with the decision to not award points I would point out that any rider (rider only) can of course protest a decision. The SACU has an appeals process - it does not dictate to riders.

If riders wish to protest the above decision then email sacu @ scottishenduros . co .uk with your reasons and I will present these to the SACU management. I would also ask that riders who feel the decision should stand should also email the above address. Only riders who were at Pathhead can protest a decision.

The bulletin was published before the Craiglash Enduro to give riders a chance to discuss it - it would have been much easier to print it after the event.

Full results from Craiglash.

These have been produced using the new SACU Break beam timing equipment which has been trialed at each event this year. This equipment will be the standard and used by each club once we have finalised the software for producing the results. So far at each event it has produced a reliable and accurate set of test times

All riders please note - the officials will be continuing to carry out noise tests at this and future events. The new noise test procedure is very quick and does not require the rider to alter their time schedule. Please see the attached extract from the ACU Handbook if you wish more details. Click here. Noisy bikes can lose the sport the use of forests and venues. Keep it legal. All clubs have noise meters so get your club to do a check for you before you compete if you think you are over the limit.

No Championship Points to be awarded for Pathhead Enduro.

newsacusml.jpg (9809 bytes) The SACU Enduro committee have reviewed the Stewards report and rider feedback from the Pathhead Enduro and have decided that no points will be awarded for this event

Due to a lack of enough certified and trained officials present during the event it has proved impossible to produce a set of reliable results for this event.

A very tough event with the course a real test of rider and machine. Sustained rain over the previous days turned the normally tough Pathhead event into an extreme event.

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
