Full details of the first round of the eagerly anticipated One Industries Mini Enduro have just been announced and entries are now open:
Mini Enduro is the new fun exciting way to race Enduro on a mountain bike. Its aimed at new riders to the sport to give it a go and we also have the Pro am category for the more established racers.
You can come and race it all in one day with 3 live timed stages and then easy transitions with no timing so they do not affect the overall standing it’s a great fun day out racing with your mates or like minded riders.
The great success of the 661 Mini Downhill races is to bring new riders into racing downhill and we want to recreate this with Mini Enduro. The Mini Enduro is title sponsored by One Industries and will be called the “One Industries Mini Enduro”
The first ever One Industries Mini Enduro will take place on Sunday 10th February 2013 at Haldon Forest in Devon.
Haldon has great and varied range of tracks the race will use the mostly off piste tracks and use the blue routes to link them all together and keep everyone going in the right direction.
You can expect to race with some of the biggest names in the sport!
Its got to be one of the easiest places to get to just 5 minutes past Exeter on the M5 by Exeter race course.
