“Santa Cruz Bicycles are once again proud to introduce what was universally voted the must-do event of the year. Last year’s Ard Rock was the perfect combination of challenging trails, good vibes and a festival atmosphere and we’re looking forward to taking it further for 2016. More bikes, more bands, more beer, MORE ROCK!” Dickon Hepworth, Santa Cruz Bicycles

The Ard Rock Enduro takes place on rock-strewn, rough terrain on private tracks, all incorporated into a big day out in the Dales. One off trails, specially designed for the weekend and access to private land means Ard Rock takes in gnarly, rock-strewn terrain only rideable in the event. Topped off with industry leading expo stands, live music, entertainment, food and real Ale bars all weekend long.

Expect more of the great riding that made the 2015 event so popular.

Saturday hosts the legendary Ard Rock Enduro. A specially designed 45km loop (measured in country miles) with 5-6 Alpine-style stages on natural rock-strewn terrain, and optional practice on Friday. The Enduro Sport Class takes place on Sunday following exactly the same route and timed stages, but it’s for riders who care more about completing the challenge and the adventure than every tenth of a second.
