Dates for 2019 Enduro and Hare and Hounds

lot of effort and moving of dates the calendar is now ready.

A great event
with a new feature - a spiral in the field course -
apparently easy to ride but very confusing for
spectators trying to see who is going where. Apparently an
idea picked up from the French at the ISDE - all set out by
Mitchell Brown. As always EEC are an innovating club.

SBEC presented the Teenage Cancer Trust a cheque for £6000
.The H&H event the club held at Glendarg was in memory of
Craig Peter Nixon & Craig's sister Lisa handed the cheque
over to Emma Vickerstaff regional fundraiser for the
charity. a massive thanks again to all our sponsors &
helpers.
Thank you to all the Riders who entered the event it was a
great turnout & to all the Marshals for helping out
.
Thanks to Craig's family for allowing us to hold this event
in his Memory
.
Watch out - thieves about again.
There were attempts to steal bikes just after the Glendearg
H&H. Luckily they were thwarted - but take care. Again check
for trackers on your vehicles and bikes.
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.
At home use a
ground or wall anchor and a quality chain. Remove rear wheel
spindles and keep in the house. Use a baby monitor if your
shed or garage is separate to the house so you can hear any
activity.
Avoid having
bike specific stickers on your vehicle if it is parked at
your house.
The
Scottish Borders Enduro Club ran a Charity Hare and
Hounds on Sunday 2nd September in aid of the
Teenage Cancer Trust
in memory of Craig Nixon.
It was a well
supported event with 100 riders entered. The club put on a
great course with an "extreme " section to test the riders.
The event was dry for the event which allowed the newer
riders to get round the course.
A great job by
the club and thanks for all their hard work - it was worth
it. The club also ran a raffle at the event with a lot
of local and distant sponsors contributing a large number of
prizes - from goodie bags to sets of tires - very generous .
The insurer Sports Insure and the SACU waived the costs for
the event so all the money raised goes to the charity.
Thanks
to all the riders who turned out on the day to support the
event . And as always a thank you to landowner for the use
of the ground

SACU Enduro Championship a
two day event at Dirtbike Evolution's Woodheads track - 5/6th August.
Saturday was a great day out in
sunshine on a dry track. Lots of new ground including tracks
across the road. The special test was a flier with a lot of
effort and tape put in to it. Some tricky off cambers -just
it well it wasn't damp - ask Steven Currie about that !!
Fraser Flockhart was flying with
Andrew Bisset in close pursuit with Ben Thomson charging
hard in 3rd. And Fraser was on top form on Sunday to lead
them home with Andrew and Ben chasing.
Thanks to Stevie and the crew at DBE
for a fantastic weekend - shame more riders didn't turn up.
Use it or lose it

SACU
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
Congratulations to Jim and Linda Ballantyne on receiving
their SACU Lifetime Achievement Award. Long overdue they
were presented with their award at the recent Heriot Enduro.
After
many years riding trials and ISDT's Jim also road in Enduros
and has been a staunch supporter of the ISDE. Jim and Linda
have been to many of these events supporting the riders in
all conditions - hot and cold. Jim is also a great
fund raiser for the ISDE Team providing support for the team
out of his own expenses and selling T shirts and other
items.
A
regular at most events Jim and Linda (along with John Little
and Eileen) man checks at far flung parts of the course -
offering encouragement and advice to riders as they pass
through.
Currently the Enduro Chairman (again) he speaks up on our
behalf at management and other meetings to ensure the sport
gets the recognition it deserves.
Thanks
to Jim and Linda for their years of service.
Jim and
Linda at the time check in Sardina in 2013 - very hot and
very dusty.

A great event
with perfect weather - hot and sunny with even a pool to
cool down in. Well done to Clerk of the Course Jim Dodds and
Mark Ritchie and Amanda and all the other helpers who put on
a perfect days racing.
A big event
benefitting from a Langdale event being cancelled - great
job by the club to accommodate the late entries.
The sand quarry
always sort them out to start - and then its a blast across
the moors to a few wee bogs then a blast back and up the
hills before another bit of sand and the beach - and do it
all again.

ACU British Enduro
Championship at
Dirt
Bike Evolution on 26/27
May 2018 at the Thirlestane course .
Report on
www.enduronews.com and results
here
Danny McCanney wins both days of the new ACU
Championship round at Lauder with Tom Sagar a
consistent second.
A
big thank you to Stevie Currie and his great
team for a fantastic event and their first BEC
round. With sun both days it was a hot day out
but the riders had a chance to cool off in the
river test and then have a nice mud bath to
finish.
 The
course followed a route through the forest
, across some brash then steep hills and
descents before arriving at the out check.
A quick run down another steep forest track to
the first test - a cross country blast and back
along and across a river to wash of the dust.
The
second test started with a flat out blast up the
hill followed by an MX style off camber descent
down the hill - followed by a narrow gully and
river crossing the a blast back to the finish.
The back to the pits and do it all again.
Ceud
Mille Failte - come back soon.

Championship Enduro 20th MAY at Bon Accord Craiglash
A great event
with lots of new tracks and a new test. Thanks to Stewart
Cooper and the team.
Some new faces
at the event - good to see new young riders getting round so
well.
The club
marshals looked very efficient in their new red bibs -
keeping the spectators and riders safe. The course was the
usual mix of woods with off camber hills and the odd wee
rock to catch out the unwary. Never an easy course but a
rewarding one
Provisional

The Experts was
won by a flying Fraser Flockhart on the Yamaha - with Andrew
Bisset close in 2nd. Fergus Lamb was looking good for 3rd
but a big off put paid to his day.
Sean Mackay took
the clubman class win closely followed by Jamie Black and
Andrew Currie in 3rd
In the Over 50's
Andrew Maben continues to excel but was only 6 seconds ahead
of Neil McGregor with Davie Hill always a threat in 3rd
Max Hamilton
lead the Sportsman home ahead of Alistair McGowan with Iain
Henderson in 3rd

won by Sandy Milne with Neil G Alexander in 2nd and George
Mcbeth in 3rd.

Dirt Bike
Evolution Enduro on 22nd April at Woodheads near
Lauder. Round 3 SACU Enduro Championship.
A dull but mostly
dry day for the newest venue in the calendar. Clerk of the
course Steven Currie and his team did a great job to get a
10 mile lap on farmland, forest and the odd wee muddy bit
ready in time.
With over 100
riders it kept the check and timing crews busy all day. The
tight and twisting woodland test providing a challenge with
the constant change of direction.
A new feature was
the "Lauder Car Wash" - a deep gully leading to a nice bog
on exit. Great fun to watch .

Frazer Norrie
was in fine form winning both days - with a close battle
with Fraser Flockhart on his Yamaha.
In the
Clubman B Angus Bruce finished his first Enduro winning both
days to set up an exciting season.
Another great
event from EEC and a big thank you to the club - with Kevin
adding lots of new ground and Barry his usual efficient self
(But he should really be resting !) And Francis running the
checks and keeping everyone in order.
And a great
big thank you to the new timing team of Mitch, Alan, John
and Kirsty . No errors or missed times over both days -
despite the riders best efforts. This year we saw a white
front plate (vaguely pink) with white numbers and another
rider with white numbers on a yellow plate - give us some
help and make your numbers easy to read as you ride past.
