Next event will be at the Tunbridge Wells site on August 29th. Will be a different track layout again, and we're working to put some nice optional sections in.

Hope to see you there!

I went last Sunday, great set up, great track, but it was my first ever enduro track experience and I only managed one lap, was knackered after that! Might give it a whirl again, see if I can make it 2 laps neXt time!

And there was me thinking I was a bit handy in the dirt riding department! Laughing

Couldn't make it in the end. Going to have to some time, but busy the bank holiday weekend.
First time I did an Enduro I pretty much collapsed after the first lap. However, as I got going, I got into it a bit more, even not stopping between a couple of laps Smile

Not so bad when I'm a bit fitter (probably lost most of it now Sad

) - but it's certainly a bit of a step up from trail riding Smile

Certainly put my 'skills' in perspective! Reckon I'd have fared better had it not been so slippery, was having real trouble controlling the front end...

Have you got a decent tyre on the front?
Even then, in some situations you just have to let the front go where it will.

Can't remember what it is, but it's very knobbly. Wasn't just me that found it very slippery though, was chatting to a couple of guys in the pits who were doing less laps than usual due to the conditions. Think I need more practie on the tight twisty stuff and more practice in the mud, just not necessarily at the same time!
