ISDE
2019
The ACU have announced their 2019 International Six Day Enduro Teams to
represent Great Britain in Portugal on the 11th to 16th November. The Trophy
team will consist of Steve Holcombe, Brad
Freeman, Danny McCanney and Joe Wootton. Juniors: Dan Mundell, Alex Walton and
Jed Etchells. Women: Jane Daniels, Rosie Rowett and Nieve Holmes. Team
manager Daryl Bolter memorably summed up the ISDE in a single word
"expensive" and competing against the World's best is not cheap but
Great Britain invented the Six Days and we currently boast the World's finest
riders so please support the teams and remind the World what makes Britain
"Great". Donate
