RIDERS’ NOTES
Important Notes
• There is enough slack in the overall time allowance for the whole course that
an averagely fit and fast rider will have spare time for food stops and will not
have to totally beast themselves to get round the course.
• However, delays caused by accidents or other circumstances will be taken
into consideration, but these MUST BE NOTIFIED TO MARSHALS during the
event – not just at the finish.
• Your timing chip will record all your stage start and finish times.
• You can only race each stage once.
• All riders’ times are logged and available at the finish. On handing in your
timing chip, you will be given a print-out of all your times.
• If you have unforeseen delays or issues which will affect your ability to
complete the course in time, please notify a marshal or race official.
• If the race is stopped or delayed for any reason, timings will be adjusted
accordingly.
• A fine of £60 will be applied if you do not return your timing card – and you
won’t get your times!
• A sweeper will go round the course at the end.
• If you retire for any reason, please inform an event official.
• All results will be posted on the event website asap after the event.

What tyres?
Keep an eye on weather on the days running up to the event, but there
are steep natural, loose, muddy and rooty trails involved – so choose tyres
according to the level of grip you want. Hardpack, fire road sprints and
climbs are in there too.
Pirelli Scorpion mountain bike tyres are available in a range of different tread
patterns and sidewalls to suit a range of conditions and riding style. The Scorpion
Enduro features Pirelli’s HardWALL casing that gives unparalleled puncture
protection and support for riders pushing their bikes to the limits. For lighter riders
or those looking for a more all-round tyre, the Pirelli Scorpion Trail provides a lighter,
more supple carcass whilst keeping the large, widely spaced tread of the Enduro S.
