This is the first of a three part mini-series following the riders that make up the family that is the Ibis Cycles UK Enduro Team.

Scour the realms of Scotland and rummage the depths of endurance racing to get a detailed glimpse of what makes everyone in the team excited to just ride their bikes. Revolving around the inaugural year of the POC Scottish Enduro Series, we take a new direction to show you the best and most realistic action from select races.

Part 1 – “The Lone Wolf” – closely follows young Lewis Kirkwood as he tackles the gruelling Scottish winter in one of the country’s wildest race locations, Nevis Range. Horrendous weather conditions combined with the challenge of collecting data for his Edinburgh Napier University Project provides us with a demanding and unique perspective of Lewis’ weekend.
