BOVINGTON (28/11) GOOD NEWS...

28th November – Seth Stephens Memorial Hare & Hounds

We are absolutely delighted that response to this event has surpassed all our expectations and with nearly 3 weeks to go the original entry limit of 120 has already been exceeded. Fortunately the course, access and parking will easily cope with more riders so we've been able to increase the limit a little to 140 to allow a few extra riders to enjoy the event.

We want to make it clear that this new limit is finite though - once it's full it's full. SCEC and RMPEC share the view that one of the biggest crimes in modern day endurosport is cramming too many riders on a course and spoiling what would otherwise have been a superb event - we won't do it, and this is going to be a superb event!

Online or postal entry forms are available at enduro.org.uk - you'll have to be quick if you want one of the last few spaces!

28th NOVEMBER @ BOVINGTON....

28th November – Seth Stephens Memorial Hare & Hounds

We’re running this event in conjunction with the Royal Marines Poole Enduro Club in the memory of racer Seth Stephens who sadly passed away recently.

It will be a superb event incorporating the very best parts of the Mexe training area as well as the surrounding Bovington ranges, which is sure to trigger memories of some of the awesome races held there in the 80s. The course will be around 6 miles long and mostly made up of sandy tracks and woodland paths and is intended to be a challenging but enjoyable for riders of all abilities including enthusiastic beginners.

You can enter online or download postal entry at enduro.org.uk

STONEDOWN RESULTS ONLINE...

Stonedown Results...

Rich Warner, Gary McCoy and Gary Wright took the top 3 positions at today's spectacular SCEC Stonedown Forest event on Cranborne Chase. The course featured rather more in the way of brash, stumps and roots than some riders maybe used to, and a number suffered with punctures as a result, but other than that all went well. A superb days racing in perfect weather and not a single reported injury. We couldn't have asked for more! Full results online now.

Next Event...

The next SCEC event is being held on the 28th November in conjunction with our friends at the Royal Marines Poole Enduro Club (RMPEC) in memory of Seth Stephens.

GOOD NEWS FROM STONEDOWN...

Good news! The recent works within the forest have given us the scope to create a much nicer parking area which is not only flatter and more centralised, but also slightly bigger too. As a result we can offer a few more riders one last chance to ride this beautiful forest event. If that appeals best find your way to www.enduro.org.uk/events.html pdq!

We are aware that some operating system/browser combinations are having issues with our paypal payment pages. If this seems to be affecting you please enter as usual and look out for the automated entry confirmation email which contains alternative payment instructions.

Look forward to seeing you there next week!

STONEDOWN ENTRY FILLING FAST...

Just a friendly reminder that time is running out to secure an entry for Stonedown on the 17th. There is a finite amount of parking available and the only fair way is to accept entries in order of receipt, sadly some will be disappointed.

The event is still over 2 weeks away but there are currently less than 50 places available!

STONEDOWN FOREST REGS ON-LINE

Regs and on-line entry for the next SCEC event at Stonedown are now available at www.enduro.org.uk/events.html

This is a rare event which is soon to become rarer still as this is the last time we are being allowed to race here. The 6 mile route uses the network of superb paths and trails around this stunning broadleaf forest on Cranborne Chase to create one of the nicest enduro loops around. It's certainly one not to be missed!

Please help the organisation team by getting your entries in as soon as you're able and if it helps to spur you on, remember the entry is restricted by the available parking so once it's full, it really is full!

STONEDOWN UPDATE...

The result of our poll regarding the best date for our next event has been overwhelmingly in favour of the 17^th October – so that’s when we’ll run it!

As you know this will be our last visit to Stonedown. Our first time there must have been 15 years ago and it’s been one of our most popular venues ever since. We’re gutted to see it go, but let’s not be negative – it’s a stunning venue and we have one more race there so let’s make it extra special!

Regs will be available over the next few days, please help us by getting your entries in as quickly as you’re able (don’t forget we don’t cash any cheques until 2 weeks so there’s no advantage to leaving it late). Spread the word and look forward to seeing you there!
