Drumtochty Enduro - Aberdeenshire Enduro Series 2019 event

Drumtochty

The stunning Drumtochty Glen contains a 19th century castle and a fairytale church at its centre. Its forests have some of the finest, loamiest trails in the North-East. The unique soil conditions and dense pine forest make for single tracks like nowhere else. This makes it a firm favourite amongst many riders, especially with its easy accessibility from the A90 to Aberdeen and central Scotland.

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.
