Yeah, I'll be there mate.

Looks like a really good way to get into Enduro! Sportive or Enduro categories mean you can choosen how serious you want to take it too.

A Yorkshire Gravity Enduro - I thought the day would never come :D

Anyone else?

Anybody else? How about a club run with a competitive edge? Course can be ridden as a group, only the stages are timed. What about Clifton enduro champs? I may even provide a little trophy ha

Was an excellent event this. Tough transitions with the hills and really strong winds. Starting stage 1 if you stopped pedalling the wind blew you back up the hill! At the start of stage 3 if you just held the bars then the wind life's the bike and blew it in the air! Tricky and rocky stages, really different from trail centre stuff. Managed to get round without any mechanicals etc, definitely an event to be considered in the future, wasn't elitist to me and loads of people did the sportive equivalent over the same route. Top fun! 😃😃😃
