Mini Enduro - Haldon Forest Sunday 9th March

One Industries Mini Enduro is the new fun exciting way to race Enduro on a mountain bike.

Its aimed at new riders to the sport to give it a go and we also have the Pro am category for the more established racers. You can come and race it all in one day with 3 timed stages and easy transitions which are not timed so they do not affect the overall results. It's a great fun day out racing with your mates.

The great success of the Mini Enduro races is to bring new riders into racing enduro. So if you have never raced an enduro before or just want a bit of fun racing enduro away from the pressure of the UK Gravity Enduro series, come and try the Mini Enduro. Last year the race was won by Gee Atherton using a mixture of official trails and off piste tracks, last year the stage 3 was really muddy but for this year we have 2 new stages which are a going to be so much fun to race on I am really excited about the stages we are using for this race, its really worth the trip to just ride them.

The race is also round 1 of the Trailhead The Trailhead Bicycle Company Senior Series, riders in the Senior category will scored points at every race of the Mini Enduro for an overall series prize from Sandy at the Trailhead Shop in Shrewsbury. Rockguarz have also come on board for each race and will be prize at every race to different category each race. http://www.rockguardz.com/ Haldon has great and varied range of tracks the race will use the off piste trails and just use the blue routes to link them all together and keep everyone going in the right direction.

It's got to be one of the easiest places to get to just 5 minuets past Exeter on the M5 by Exeter race course.
