Welcome to Off Road Motorcycle Sport in Scotland (Enduros)

Welcome to Scottish Enduros 2007.  This site was set up in 1999 as an introduction to the sport. It now contains information on events, results  who to contact and profiles of some of the top Scottish Riders.
The big event each year is the ISDE (in Chile this year) and there will be several training and fund raising days over the season. All events will be found in the Calendar along with major British and World rounds.

New for 2007 - newsacusml.jpg (9809 bytes) Inter Club Enduro. After discussions at the Enduro Committe it has been decided to run an Inter Club event - hopefully a fixture for the future. Each club will nominate 2 riders from Expert, Clubman, Over 40 and Sportsman ( best 6 results to count). The club with the lowest points total will win. So make sure you put your name forward to your club and ensure each club has a full team. Clubs to decide on their teams.

The event will run as part of an existing Enduro this year the BON ACCORD event- no extra events or entires required.  Who do you ride for ? Make sure your club has a full team !

Note to all riders for 2007 - please ensure you have the correct number background for your class - KTM Orange does not count as a background. Expert - Red or green on the front, Clubman and O-40 Yellow front, Sportsman Black front. All with yellow sidepanels. So now you will know you've been passed by a Sportsman !! It really helps the organisers on the course.

And a reminder to all riders. You must stop at the start of each Special Test to allow the timekeepers to record your number and to set the timing gear. If you don't stop you could miss having a lap recorded. And ensure you follow the marked route. If you miss a corner you must go back and rejoin the course at the point you left it. Any riders found by the Clerk of the Course off the marked route risk disqualifiaction.

If you find the sport is interesting and would like to ride or assist then contact a club as we are keen to attract new members to the sport.  There is an over 40's class and a Ladies award, so everyone  can get out and ride.

Enduros in Scotland are organised from March to October with events from the Borders to Inverness . All classes of rider are catered for with Expert, Clubman, Sportsman and over 40's classes.

To compete you  need to be a member of a club and either hold an SACU or ACU  licence - or can get a one day licence at the event. You need to send in an entry form prior to the event, Regs are available on this site or from the host club. Events are published in  Trials & Motocross News. If you check the Calendar on this site the  dates and venues of events and training days are listed. The Contacts page has the addresses of the organising clubs.

The aim of Enduro Competition is to complete the course via several checkpoints in a set time. You may not check in early or late without penalty. Generally the top riders go "clean" and the event is then decided on the result of special test times. There will be one or two tests per lap of a moto-X or cross-country type. For the slower riders there is up to a one hour allowance over the set time for the course to achieve a finish.

Enduros are exactly what they say and even to finish is an achievement. So go on - try an event and get out on the hills. There is no other sport like it.
