25th July Cancelled

The event planned for the 25th July has been cancelled due to lack of entries - making 5 of the best events in the South being cancelled due to lack of entries over the last few weeks.

As many of you have pointed out, if we allowed MX tyres and pipes we could have filled the event 10 times over, but we don't believe that's the way forward. Sure trashed land can (sometimes) be re-graded so it looks ok superficially, but if it's not then left long enough to regain it's structure before you use it again (typically several years) it will return to it's trashed state almost immediately. We've proven time and time again that Enduro & Trials tyres reduce damage to the extent that re-grading is rarely required - Time & Nature working together are usually enough.

As to the pipe issue - well only a total moron honestly believes that the din from a 450 crosser on full chat is reasonable in an enduro environment.

Recession or not we will continue to only promote sustainable enduro sport - we hope you will support us in this and to this end very much look forward to seeing you at our next event in September.

25th JULY BULLMOOR FARM

With the spiralling costs of running events these days it is vital that organisers know in advance whether there will be sufficient entries to cover the event costs. Unfortunately alongside this is the current tendency to enter at the very last minute, resulting in events being cancelled across the country when they needn’t have been - "we were going to enter that one" doesn't pay the farmer or the medics!!!!

SCEC is not immune from this so if you want the event to happen on the 25th at Bullmoor Farm PLEASE GET YOUR ENTRIES IN ASAP

Hope to see you there!

Important News Regarding Wednesday 21st Evening Race At Rogershill.

Rogershill & SCEC have jointly taken the decision to run Wednesday evening’s race as a fun/practice event instead. With SCEC’s suberb new Bullmoor Farm event set for the following Sunday plus other local events on the weekend before and after that, many riders found themselves juggling loyalty with resources and that’s not a situation we feel comfortable with.

The fun/practice event will give those who need a mid-week fix the chance to get out there and have some fun without the pressure. All entrants will receive a full refund for their race entry and those wishing to participate in the practice event will need to contact Rogershill directly to book in.

25th JULY BULLMOOR FARM ENTRY UPDATE....

With just 2 weeks to go before the next SCEC event at the fabulous new Bullmoor Farm venue, members are reminded that the event is now open to non-members too (members get priority and a guaranteed ride up till 2 weeks before each event).

Entry numbers are restricted to ensure maximum enjoyment for competitors so all those wishing to participate are urged to confirm their intentions as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Look forward to seeing you there!
