Aboyne Enduro - Aberdeenshire Enduro Series 2019 event

Aboyne

The beautiful village of Aboyne, on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park, has always been a great place to start an adventure into the great outdoors. A varied network of single tracks twisting through the trees has rapidly developed in recent times, alongside the rise of Enduro. An area which was often bypassed by keen mountain bikers is now a hot spot in the Dee Valley.

Anyone aged between 9-12 will be able to take part in a shortened course, which will be 4 stages omitting the most technically difficult stage. Youth riders under the age of 13 will be required to ride together in a group, guided by an appointed experienced adult Youth Group Leader, before racing each stage individually (see more below).

Youths

Each youth rider must have an adult chaperone (and be accompanied to the event by a parent/guardian, even if the latter is not riding).
The Rider Disclaimer must be signed by both the parent/guardian on behalf of the youth, as well as the chaperone.
The chaperone can only look after a maximum of two youth riders.
The chaperone will ride behind the youth participant and be available to take care of any issues with the youth eg bike problems, injuries or withdrawals for any reason.
The entire group (youth riders plus chaperone) will set off one hour before the main group and will ride a shorten course.
The group must ride each stage together (with usual separation between riders), once all have arrived a stage with any other riders waiting will have to give way to let youth group through and wait until they have all completed a stage.
