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 Mexico this year) and there will
be several training and fund raising days over the season. Check out

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.
We are
pleased to hold the 8th and Final round of the SACU Hare &
Hounds Championship at Sundhope Farm, in the Yarrow Valley. The course
will be 50/60% new going based around woodland and adjacent areas on
the valley floor, so sorry no fantastic views from the tops of the
surrounding hills this year!!

As usual it will be a challenging run round the forest - but always with
a standard route to ensure we keep the track open. Different routes for
Experts and Sportsman.
This year we are also hoping
to raise a bit for Charity and supporting Holidays4Heroes. We are
also offering free entry for service personnel (up to 10 entries). There
is a space to donate £2 on the entry form.
A new source of OFF Road racing parts and accessories. Run by a couple

On
Sunday 4th July, when some might be celebrating American
Independence or watching ‘Le Tour’ from the comfort of their armchairs,
true mud worshippers were revelling in the challenging conditions at
the first running of the Scottish Border Enduro Club’s Hare & Hound at
Wollrig Farm, Ashkirk. More

We hope that
you enjoyed your day on Sunday, albeit a tad blustery with the odd
shower!! Certainly the feedback we've been getting has been very
positive, which makes all the hard work that went into setting it up,
worthwhile.
Thanks to our
Colin Ross for writing a lap scoring programme, we are able to give
you lap times as well.
As usual
there is always "stuff" left behind so if you have lost something
(excluding marbles) do get in touch.
The SACU Enduro Committee has
selected the following riders for the ISDE Team after discussion with
the ISDE Team Manager Sam Davidson. As always and due to the quality of
our riders there may be changes if riders are selected for the British
Teams.
Last year was the best
supported team ever and we were rewarded with a Gold medal and 2 Silvers
- a great result. We hope to send as well supported a team again this
year and hope all the riders and clubs will get behind the team. Any
sponsors are very welcome to help the team.

Clubman - Over 40
Sportsman
And a reminder to
all riders. You must stop at the start of each Special Test to allow the timekeepers to
record your number and to set the timing gear. If you don't stop you could miss having a
lap recorded. And ensure you follow the marked route. If you miss a corner you must go
back and rejoin the course at the point you left it. Any riders found by the Clerk of the
Course off the marked route risk disqualifiaction.
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
