Pirelli TweedLove ProAm – British Enduro Championships 2022: three days of riding (practice Friday/Saturday, race day Sunday). The course will be kept under wraps until the event but, as always, you can expect a top-notch mix of great Tweed Valley trails – a pro-level race course and event. You definitely don’t have to be a pro rider to take part, but this is a high standard race for experienced riders, so you can expect appropriate levels of physical and technical challenge.
(Please Note that there is no E3 category youth class. The Pirelli TweedLove ProAm – Amateur 2022 is its replacement.)

Seeded/Non-Seeded
Depending on how you want to enjoy your race day, you can choose to be seeded or not…
Seeded (Full Course)
If you opt to be seeded you will be given start times for every stage of the race. You must complete all the race stages, and stick to the stage start schedule you’re given at registration. If seeded riders miss their start time they will be slotted in at the start marshals discretion. There are no time penalties for missing your stage start times BUT there is an overall course completion time and penalties apply if you don’t make this.
Choose this if you’re fast and if you want to minimise chance of encountering traffic while on the race course, with no uncertain queuing at stage starts, but be aware you might not be able to spend race day riding with your mates. You will need to select the seeded option if you wish to be included in the BNES series.
Non-Seeded (Full Course)
Choose to be non-seeded if your priority is to ride with your mates. You’ll need to sign up with the same group name so you all get the same start waves. You are still given guide times to start each stage, and there’s an overall course completion time – penalties apply if you don’t make it. There’s more chance of being before or after a rider who is considerably faster or slower than you, but with less stress on the transition times, it’s a more sociable choice for many.
Short Course – E3
There will not be a short course version of this event — we have decided to give you your own race. If you would normally enter the E3 category please enter the Pirelli TweedLove ProAm – Amateur. This course will incorporate some of the stages from the British Championship course as well as some other stages.
