UK Enduro Series comes to an end!

It is with great regret we hear the news today that UK Enduro is to close its doors according to a post on the event Facebook page.

Simon Paton‎ of the UK Gravity Enduro series has also just posted the following statement offering riders a free entry to round 4 of the Cannondale The British Enduro Series at Eastridge on the 13th and 14th of August.

Competition is always good as it offers a choice for the riders to choose between the competing organisers. Those organisers then strive forward to deliver the best service and experience at their events possible, all for the benefit of the riders and the sport of enduro.

The only downside to this is the two national level series competing for riders. This means entries have been diluted, putting a financial strain as you can imagine on both organisers.

The British Enduro Series - The BES will continue throughout 2016 with thanks to the generous sponsors that support the series. As well as being in a unique position to pull resource from its sister company the British Downhill Series - The BDS.

We have spoken at length today with Neil Delafield of UK Enduro and offered him our full support and assistance at this difficult time.

We would also therefore like to offer our support and assistance to riders who have entered any upcoming UK Enduro Events even though we have no affiliation to that company. Therefore as a gesture of goodwill, the BES would like to offer those riders a free entry to round 4 of the Cannondale BES at Eastridge on the 13th and 14th of August.

The format will be three different stages each day with practice in the morning and racing on the afternoon with transition times no more than 30 minutes long for the average rider.

Race support for all riders from Shimano, SRAM, Hope Technology and Crankbrothers. Bike Wash, Air Hoses and Lube Station all courtesy of GT85.

Live timing on all stages with podiums 5 minutes after the last rider down.
