As the title says the booking for the Ard Rock Enduro (Mountain bike festival) open for Entries 31st Oct 18. 0630.
This event typically books out quickly.... but the only event open to ebikes is the Enduro Intro, last year i managed to enter this race on the day. but this was them being nice to one of the exhibitors and i didn't get any timing chips.

The event itself is excellent and worth going even if you arnt riding, with quite a large event village and various activities, including most bike stands having ebikes to demo on a good demo loop. this is a few miles long and encludes some nice climbing, rocky singletrack and a couple of jumps.
last year spesh were there along with hiabike, lapierre, pivot and saracen.
There were other brands there but i don't know if they had there ebikes with them. these include Canyon and Rocky Mountian.
Demos were free by the way.

The route itself is supposed to be very good. I had a chance to sample one of the stages and yep it was excellent a very good trail that if it was around here would be on our list of top trails to ride regularly.

I’d be quite interested in having a drive up and just having a look at the enduro riding. Can’t see any info on this though, maybe you can just park somewhere and walk some of the course.

the full course is only avaible during the event as some of it is on private land that is only opened up for the ard rock.

the event village is situated next to Dales Bike Centre Google Maps
it looks like you can do some of the trails in that area from there.

Do quite fancy this, does anyone know what last years course was like for getting round on one battery? Think I saw 1500m climbing for the intro stage route ?
