Didn't realise there are still trails of any consequence at Penhurst now that that touchy feely Kingdom lot have taken over. Smashed myself to pieces a couple of times at PORC over the years and laid up again now but will try and come along to say hello and heckle! Not cheap to enter though is it?

I’ve love to, but it’s the weekend before I go on holiday and given my unfortunate history of unscheduled dismounts there’s no way I’d get management approval...

Also, 45 quid seems a bit steep. Do you get a race jersey or goody bag for that?

 

[Bongofish]

£45 is alot. I would have thought £25 to be a fair price.

I know it will be an amazing day out, However, I am a grand vet so racing against 18 year olds (There does not appear to be any other ebike class) does not sound like a level playing field to me even on an ebike.

I think I will wait until they start to mirror the acoustic classes before I get involved.

£45 is expensive but it is not cheap to run these events these days due to insurance, health and safety, staff costs etc.

I'm up for it.. just trying to get my ebike clan together..

Great. Book quick as places are running out!!

(E-Bikes Must have a maximum speed limited of 15.5 mph and comply with UK EAPC Law. We rely on Riders integrity to adhere to this rule).

Don't really want to remove my dongle.. can turn off. That sounds acceptable to me..

They are now separating into 18-39 and 39+, its just not listed on the website yet.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Anyone else in? It's almost sold out!

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Who is doing this one? There’s less than 10 spaces left if anyone is still interested ?

 

[Beanieuk]

I have managed to talk 4 of us into doing it, 3 on Ebikes and 1 on a normal bike ?

Ok how good do your skills have to be to race enduro? What sort of trail experience do you reckon would be sensible? Currently riding a kenevo.

Just basic skills, good protection recommended. The courses are have no big drops or gaps. I’d grade them a red absolute maximum.

Ah that's good to know, I'm not ready yet but hopefully get in some good winter riding at queen Elizabeth country park and aim to get the red route nailed. When you say basic skills?

 

[Allysnell]

I really ought to give the races a go as the matterly bowl is about 3 miles from where I live lol.
