Pedalhounds are sticking to the true ethos of enduro – there will be no practice before the racing starts, although the stages will be available for inspection on foot the day before between 1-4pm and on the morning of the event between 7.30-10am giving everyone a level playing field.

These events will be run on private land and fully insured for MTB and EMTB racing.
