Nice little race series at Inners next year to see who is the best 'all round' MTB rider

That saves me having to promote it on here

It's shaping up to be a good series!

Anybody who wants to experience some of the best trails that Innerleithen has to offer, should do the Enduro!

I've been out doing a little bit of sneaky filming, and the stages are fun

Hazard of using the gopro fully enclosed on the chest mount!

Would you be so kind as to post them up for us fellow Commencal participants   

[mc]

Certainly.
Couple off-piste, and one using a mix of on-piste. 

If you're up on the saturday (or before), I'll show you round.

I quite fancy that actually, although I would have no hope of being competive but quite like the chance to explore Inners properly. I really liked it when up there before.

Thanks, will Def be arriving on the Saturday for a recce    Is it using some of the existing DH trails?  If so, I'm pretty au fait with most of those already having ridden DH races up there at least twice a year for the past 12 years, but still nice to know exactly which one's they're using.

Just a quick edit from the dodgy footage I got at the start of last week

Ooooh, you tease

MC,
Will the race positions be decided purely on the combined times of the 3 DH stages, or is there some form of penalty for late arrival at stage starts?

Also what's the significance of the 4 hour time limit?

Finally, are all trails on the hill closed on the Sunday, as in line with the 'no official route btw stages' ethos, what's stopping a rider going up one of the DH trails that's not one of the 3 'official' DH timed trails?

[mc]

Results will be based soley on times for the 3 stages.
There are no set start times, just the 4 hour limit on completion, which if you run over, your bigger worry is going to be lack of light.

I'm not sure what trails will be shut, but I'd imagine there will be some control over what trails you can ride.

Ta.
Apart from lack of fitness from not being on my bike for 3 weeks due to a perforated eardrum, I'm really looking forward to the series

You need fitness? 

Over the past two months, the most I've ridden my bike was filming the promo!
