An excellent event put on by Gavin Douglas and the NE Vinduro Club. With a mixture of moors, woods and some hill climbs to keep it interesting it was a long day for the riders and crew.
Normally running Classic bikes in Vinduro Gavin put on an event to test more modern machinery as well as the older bikes. Well worth the trip over the border .

Live timing link for Highland Enduro Club Tain Hare and Hounds on 4th August
http://my.raceresult.com/301554/
Another fine day of racing at the popular Tain MX Racing tack with good weather and just enough rain to keep the dust down.
The Highland Enduro Club put on a great race with the usual start round the MX track and then a blast across the heath and then round the golden fields with numerous obstacles to overcome.
The usual logs were there with some tight chicanes between massive straw bales and the big stile to cross. A lot of work by the club but well worth it for the riders.Lots of photographers this year to catch all the action and some great aerial shots over the MX jumps.
After three hours of close racing Expert Andrew Bisset finished on 13 laps with Kevin Murray the only other rider on 13 laps in 2nd place les than a minute behind. Cai Hewitt was 3rd with 11 laps
In the over 40's Alex Pringle had a great race to finish on 11 laps ahead of Mitchell Brown in 2nd and James Harvey in 3rd also on 11 laps.
James Lindsay lead the Clubman home to finish on 11 laps with only Felix Beavvit able to stay with him on 11 laps for 2nd . Jake Reid pushed for 10 laps to take 3rd
Billy Campbell had a close race with Thomas Malcolm in the Clubman B class with both riders on 10 laps . Richard McLeod finishing in third
Neil Dawson continues to get faster in the over 50 Clubman Class with a tight battle all day with Ian Bisset 2nd and Ritchie Finnie 3rd. Duane Whittaker less than a minute behind in 4th
The Sportsman class was won by Mikey Durdle leading home Jim Lorimer and Angus Hamilton. All on a great 10 laps .
Alan Strachan took the Sportsman Vets class win with 9 laps ahead of Mike Glass and Jon Denison also on 9 laps.
Thanks to the Bisset family and David McGilvray and the Highland crew for setting out a great track and top days racing.
The next Highland event is their Altyre 2 day Enduro . One not to be missed.

Press release from Jim Mair Scottish Enduro Committee Chairman
Although I could not attend personally due to my wife giving me Covid, my two sons, grandson and a close mate travelled down to Cardenden on Saturday for the first ever Scottish Enduro Sprint.
Although only about 30 riders turned up all reports were that it was just brilliant with plenty of action an excellent course , great facilities and a warm friendly atmosphere.
I would really like to thank Dave Paton, Kevin Murray, Sandy Mack and Caroline Thomson for pulling things together and making this happen.
Thanks also to the many marshals and helpers who were kept going all day.
Lets try to have more of these events in the future are they are different and fun.
I hope that the next one which is being planned by Phil Hewitt in October can attract even more riders.
Jim Mair
Scottish Enduro committee Chairman.

3rd May 2024 - Results from SBEC Falahill Enduro Weekend
With one of the biggest entries seen for a few years there was nearly 100 riders on both days as they catered for the Enduro riders and also the multi lap Hare and Hounds riders.
There was also Youth H&H on the Sunday morning given the young riders a chance to experience a full off road course.
Andy Thomson and his crew put in a lot of effort over many weeks to produce a testing and enjoyable course. At the end of the day there were a lot of smiling faces.
Despite the sunshine the course had its challenges with a river of water running through the trees and several very sticky bogs. But that's Enduro and with the marshalls helping and changing the course when needed the event went ahead . A proper Enduro and one worth finishing.
On the Sunday with a shortened lap for the H&H and several of the worst bogs cut out the 2 and 1/2 hour event went ahead in sunshine with some close racing.
A great weekend and riders enjoyed the new format.
A big thank you to FALAHILL farm for the the use of the land and a great camping and parking area.

Another tough and excellent enduro from the Bon Accord Club. Ross Fisher and his team put together a great day out in the woods for 96 riders.
The journey was well worth it with the usual big climbs, rocks and a tight but flowing special test. A proper enduro and a good one to finish.
Starting dryish it then drizzled for the whole day making the course slippy and muddy as the day went on. The big bog and hill climb was cut.
With lots of marshalls on the course to help out the event kept going with a bit of heaving .
Thanks to Bon Accord for the effort and putting on another great event.
Andrew Bisset took the win by only 10 secs over 5 tests from Sam Boyd who continues to push hard. Ricky Mair continues to impress with 3rd.
Derek Little took the over 40 win ahead of Gavin Johnston with Lee Philip in 3rd.
Duncan Norrie on a classic Honda CR250 (narrow power band and stiff suspension) took the Clubman class with an impressive ride after a 5 year layoff.
Felix Beavitt continues to improve after moving up a class and took 2nd ahead of Charles Millburn
Robbie Allan continues to enjoy himself in the over 50 class with a win ahead of experienced riders Neil Dawson and Andrew Flockhart.
Robert Grahan lead the Clubman B class home with a fine ride to lead Matthew Scott by only 1 second after 3 tests. Nat Leadbitter came in 3rd
John Telfer took the Sportsman win . With John Weir 2nd and Donald Mackenzie in 3rd
The Over 50 Vets is always competitive with John Hume coming in 1st ahead of Alan Strachan and Marco Martinelli who all remained clean on time.
The next Enduro will be SBEC at Fala Hill on 1st June with a H&H on the 2nd . Another great weekend of sport.
Calum Hill gets the power down.

Provisional Results Sun 31st March 2024
A great start to the new Enduro Championship with the season opener at Lossiemouth.
Rounds 1 and 2 were staged by the Highland Enduro Club at the popular Lossiemouth forest. In a change from previous years
there was no beach run with deep sand but this was made up for by a monster bog which claimed a few bikes.
The test was run in the trees and was a tight and testing challenge with some close racing .
Andrew Bisset claimed victory on both days followed home by Frazer Norrie in a rare appearance but showing all his normal
speed. Sam Boyd continues to impress with a fine pair of thirds.
Youngsters Robbie Davidson and Cai Hewitt moved up to the Expert class and put in some fast times over the extra lap .
Cai Hewitt suffered from the dreaded Lossie Foot ( a recognised medical term) and only completed the Saturday.
Thanks to Jim Mair and the hard working team for another memorable event under trying circumstances - including
lightning and hailstones on the Saturday.
The next round is at Craiglash with Bon Accord in 3 weeks on 21st April.

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.
Avoid having bike specific stickers on your vehicle if it is parked at your house.
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 wheel spindle 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.
At events - 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.
NOTE ON HELMETS - IMPORTANT. Check before you turn up at an event
Helmets will only pass scrutineering for racing if they carry an ACU gold 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.
Helmet or body mounted cameras are prohibited. Cameras may be mounted on the motorcycle.
If you want more riding - the North East of England Championship rounds are well worth doing . Enduro and XC. See http://www.enduro-neec.org.uk/ for more info and a calendar.
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.
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.
