Ruthin was the last of the of five enduros, a series that has taken in some of the UK's premier riding spots. Scott have taken on the roll of title sponsor this year, there seems to be a real commitment to make this series of enduros a success.



The riding started on Saturday evening with a couple of hundred riders heading off in to the dark for the - Exposure Lights Big Night Out. The riders must of got a shock when they were treated to a fire work display on the top of the first climb. The course got a big thumbs up from the participants who were filling up their finishers mug with free tea & cakes and swapping stories of their adventures. Nick Craig ( Scott Racing) was nominated to take the new Scott Fat Bike loaded up with as many Exposure lights as possible, fair play he embraced the challenge and still finished with the fastest guys.


Sunday saw the main event heading off for a selection of distances from 25k through to 75k, which took in some off the obligatory Welsh hills. High light of the weekend was Ian of the (Orange Army) as they have come to be known playing the Welsh national anthem encouraging the riders up the steepest of climbs and handing out banter with the whit of a stand up comedian, amazing to see some of the younger riders making easy work of the climb




It's been a pleasure to take photos at these events this year and to see how much work is involved to give you and I the opportunity to have a blast around the hills, next time you are at one of these events give those guys a pat on the back and tell them what a great job they are doing..
