Christmas update...

In the 30 or so years I've been involved with Enduro sport I can't think of any as disappointing as 2012.  The weather has caused total mayhem, added to which we're losing more and more of our old venues and struggling to find enough new ones. We can find the time to run some awesome races but finding enough decent venues is becoming a full time job. Trouble is we already have full time jobs...

So we need your help guys.  As more and more of our best venues (and decent enduro land in general) gets given over to 'nature conservation' we need your help find new venues. If you know of anywhere that might be suitable please don't keep it to yourself, let us know - we'll do the hard work and if works out you needn't worry about entry fees at SCEC for several years!

With a little bit of help from you guys 2013 could be awesome - and what an amazing Christmas present for everybody that would be!

In the mean time Santa has his dirt bike out if you fancy a play...

Have a fantastic Christmas and looking forward to seeing you all next year!

Bramblecoombe...

Sorry guys, it's not going to happen :-(

Much of the farm is still waterlogged including the parking area. There's more rain forecast next week and having inspected to course and discussed the practicalities with the farmer we've reluctantly concluded that it would just be foolish to attempt to run in these conditions. It's a massive disappointment, especially as we've received such a big entry, but it's the only sensible decision. 

In view of the size of the entry it'll take a few days to get all the refunds organised so please bear with us.

There's not much more I can say, it's not been much of a year for enduro sport - let's just hope next year is kinder to us!

All the best

Gary and the team

Bramblecoombe set for 25th November...

All good things come to he who waits...

Following on from the disappointment of not being able to run at Bramblecoombe in September, we're delighted to confirm that the landowner has given the go ahead to hold our November event there.

Bramblecoombe is fabulous. It has a little bit everything we all love to see in a cross-country event, and being a working farm every time we race here it's different - who knows what we'll be able to come up with this time!

The best laid plans...

When we booked the venue for our September event the farmer was confident he would have his crops in by race day - and of course normally he would have. But this year has been appalling for growing just about anything and the crops are weeks, maybe months behind. Much of the maize (which should be well over 2 metres high by now) is still little more than two feet high!

Sadly we've not managed to come up with an alternative venue but the farmer is still keen for us to race there later in the year so we'll have a look at both his and the local race calendars and see what can be done. We'll do what we can and announce the new date as soon as we can.

We're really sorry for the disappointment, it's a real pain, but please remember that whilst it's massively disappointing for us, it a catastrophe for the farmer.

Look forward to seeing you all soon

Gary and the team

Date Change...

The landowner of our September venue has asked us if we could run our event planned for the 23rd September the following weekend instead. We hope the change of date won't prove too inconvenient and look forward to seeing there!

New Date: 30th September

Venue: Bramblecombe Farm

Coombe Farm Final instructions (and last few places)

20th May 2012

ACU British Twinshock Enduro Championships

This is an awesome venue, one of the best new venues we've come across in a long time - definitely not to be missed!

We've been a bit slow getting the final instructions and entrants list online. Following nearly a month of solid rain we wanted to be sure the event could run before getting everybody excited. But it's time to get excited folks, it's gonna be awesome - and there are a few places left if you're quick!
