As such we plan to hold a 3 hour H&H this coming Sunday 19 of May at Birkenhill for those of you who wish to get out for a race. We had planned to run this as our previously postponed Championship H&H but as we are limited for space and unable to have the usual mass start for each class, as well as that a couple of riders have got in touch to say they think it's far too short notice so this event will just be a club H&H. As I'm sure you'll appreciate to provide the medical cover and to cover insurance costs etc' etc' we will have to reach a certain amount of riders otherwise it wont be possible, so it's entirely up to you guys. We just want to get everyone back out on your bikes before you all turn to golf or drink, if you wish to attend please complete the form below and I'll be in touch to confirm rider numbers. Price will be £40 per rider, Scrutineering & Signing On 09.00am -10.30am Sharp. Start time TBC Many thanks as always go to Mr & Mrs Simon Jackson for continuing to allow us to use their land.

Know your regs This weeks question - You get a puncture - can you change a spare wheel ? Answer. If the wheel has not been marked then you could change a wheel (not really the intention of the rules and definitely not in a British or World round) - but you must use the original tire. You are not allowed to change a tire during the days competition. ESR 8 - page 165 Tyre Change: Inner tubes/mousses may be replaced at any time during the event but not whilst the bike is in the parc ferme. Tyres may only be changed at the day’s final time check between the white and yellow flag, or in the morning in the work area.

Regs changes for 2013 - following the recent dates meeting and feedback from riders, clubs and the Enduro Committee the attached changes to the Enduro regs will take place for the 2013 season. Click here for the 2013 Enduro Standing Regs These only apply to Enduros and no change has been made to Hare and Hounds regulations 1.                  Expert Class to be split into Championship and Expert to allow riders to gain experience once promoted from Clubman class. Championship class – Red plates. 5 laps (where suitable) at Championship pace Expert Class – Green plates. 4 laps (where suitable) Lap 1 at Clubman pace. Lap 2 and 3 at Championship pace. Lap 4 at Clubman pace. This is designed to introduce the riders to the increased speed of the Expert class. Existing Expert riders will be classed as Championship – but may apply to the Enduro Committee before the start of the season if they wish to ride Expert. 2.                  All Championship rounds to count. 3.                  Clubman E Classes to be removed – due to the decreased number of riders in Clubman. Can be reviewed in future years. 4.                  Riders may continue to ride in a class after they have won a Championship for a further 2 years.  If the rider wishes to remain in the class after that they can ride for no points. 5.                  Over 50 award. This has been suggested to be awarded on the basis of riders in the Over 40 and Clubman classes as they have the same laps and times. It is not a championship but will be an award at each event with a summary at the end of the season. 6.                  Rider nos. Riders will be issued a number at their first event of the year and then retain that number for the rest of the year. These will be based on classes –eg  1 -50 Champ. 51-100 Exp etc. The numbers for Hare and Hounds may be requested by riders when they enter.
