This event has become a classic with a course that makes the most of the massive variety of trail riding locally, with the sweetest descents on the valley’s finest dirt, roots and rock. The title is becoming an important one in Scotland, but the race remains the friendly and good-spirited blast it has always been. For ambitious first-timers or pros. (Note: this enduro is one of three included in TweedLove’s new enduro series the Triple Crown – riders completing all three rounds are eligible for the Triple Crown title. Riders can choose to enter one, two, or all three of the races!)
