SACU Scottish Enduro Championship 2017   Round 1 -Scottish Borders Enduro Club - at Thirlestane - 26th March. Fantastic start to the Scottish Enduro Season - over 100 riders on a classic forest course. Ground in great condition. Lots of new ground and a lot of hard work put in by the SBEC club. Blue skies and happy faces - and a lot of very tired riders.  This is what Enduro is all about. One note from the timing teams - make sure your numbers are readable - use the correct colour background and numbers - white numbers on yellow or black numbers on green are almost invisible. Final Results Version 3 now available - click here for results. Expert class won by Fraser Flockhart 2nd Fergus Lamb 3rd Joel Gowan. Jane Daniels in 4th. More photos here .

ELRAT Practice Day.19th March at Pitmeadow Farm, Muckhart Road Dunning 33 riders turned up for the Dunning practice day. A chance to get out in the trees and woods and a wee bit of soft ground before the start of the season. Thanks to Lindsay for setting up the course and adding on the extra mileage. With a damp start it dried out as the day went on and riders were getting some good lap times in the forest. The open hillside proved a bit of a challenge to start but the course settled in well and gave the riders a chance to test their fitness   Click here for more photos

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. 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 wheelspindle 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.

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. Check the regs in the 2016 ACU Handbook - https://www.acu.org.uk/Uploaded/1/Documents/2016%20Handbook/ACU%20HANDBOOK_2016.pdf page 89.
