It's England's first Gravity based staged endure at night.

It will practice in the light then race in the dark.

Its at Queen Elizabeth Country Cark in the South downs in Sat 17th May 2014.

Free camping
Beer tent (not free)
Flood light race village
Prizes for top 3 riders in all categories
One of the larges fleet of demo bike in the UK on the Sunday
(From Specialized, Cube, Scott, Bianchi, Cannondale)

Should be a really good one and all the money goes back it to the trails at QECP.

Hmmm... not sure I'm up for racing (lifetime results = 1 mates race: 1 last place) but I'm hoping I can marshal. Should be great.

This will surely be a cracking weekend! I'll be doing a carp job of marshalling somewhere - will make sure I pack some polo's and Xtra strong mints incase of a fall 🙂

I'm in! Will the lines be of similar style/standard to last years Gravity Enduro?

All the trails will be in the park itself, not where the enduro was last year. Similar standard though, possibly steeper on some trails.

I'm in! We asked, you listened, so we have to turn up. If it's half as good as last year's DH and Enduro it will be great!

Sounds fun, need to check with the OH. I take it by enduro it means big bike rather than xc hard tail which I normally do qecp on?

Anywhere to secure bikes whilst partaking in beer?

Yes but you could still do it on an XC hardtrail but if you have a 140/150mm ish bike I would go for that.

I have no lights 🙁 Not in a position to acquire any ATM either with pending house move in August and general mis-management of personal finances 😳

And still feeling gutted after missing out last summers' event due to a night of massive excess 😳

Might there be another day time event as well?

Perhaps I could offer myself to Marshall? How can I sign up for that instead Scott?

I am up for this... just trying to get a few mates involved.

Question... what is the difference between categories?

Cheers Bartimus!

Reckon I'll be Marshalling there, so one or two of those torches would come in handy 😉

slackalice... Probably see you there then, I'm hoping to be allowed out all weekend, so I'm hoping to Marshal as well. You can add me to the list Scott.
