About the event:
Evo:
After having to cancel The Thistle vorf the last 2 years we are pleased to offer an event based mainly for the vintage era bikes, but also open to newer bikes.
The sole purpose of this event is to offer a competitive, unique outing that you can enjoy with your friends and fellow competitors.
To make it even easier to participate, we’ve staggered the sign in times to allow Heritage and Evo riders the opportunity to arrive later in the morning.
The event is comprised of both single track trails and the motocross track, hence the name endurocross. Starting will be like a Moto cross with a Flag start and once one complete lap of the MX track is completed, you will then start the actual course using the single track trails and mx track. This will help spread the riders out before entering the single track trails.
In total, approx 80% of the mx track will be used per lap but it is recommended that a proper enduro bike be used as opposed to a MX bike, but it is open for either and totally your choice.
Race duration is 60 minutes plus 1 lap with the race starts spaced 2 hours apart to allow for a decent breather between Scrambles in case you are riding multiple disciplines.
Scoring will be done manually and you will receive a helmet sticker at registration with a number on it that we will use to score. This worked great at The Thistle 2019.
Vehicle Info:
Parking is broken into 3 basic areas, area 1 is right at the entrance and will be reserved for participants with larger motorhomes, trailers or toy haulers. This has easy access and is basically on the owners lawn. Area 2 is close to the starting line and is best for single vehicles and those with smaller trailers. Area 3 is an overflow area for single vehicles only.
If you have a larger trailer, please contact me directly (John Lake)
