Information
Now in its sixth year 10 Under the Ben is a must do for all mountain bike enthusiasts. 10 Under the Ben is the first of the Three Ten events; this is an opportunity for riders, racers, off road riders and the weekend warriors to get out and get on their bikes.
Participants can compete as a solo or in relay teams of two, three or four. The race is an endurance format with teams and individuals competing to see who can complete the most laps in the 10 hours.
After the huge success of 2009 the No Fuss Team will again host their flagship event at Nevis Range, the home of the 2007 World Championships and the UK’s round of the World Cup in 2009. In 2008 and in 2009 we were treated to not only the highest race registration in the country but on one of the most stunning sunsets of the summer. In 2009 over 700 riders made registration at the top station for the pre race meal. We will admit this caught us a wee bit on the back foot however we assure you we will be prepared in 2010.
“Don’t worry if you do not look good in Lycra, No Fuss events are all about taking part in a hobby that we enjoy, competition is up to the individual its more about taking part, riding a great course with loads of like minded people and have a good time” said Frazer Coupland Partner No Fuss Events.
10 Under the Ben is a real family day out there will be entertainment and music for all, race registration and pre race party commence on the Friday evening, with the race scheduled to start at 0930 on Saturday and après race party going on late into Saturday Night for those who have the energy.
.
Please note that the pricing structure for the 2010 is the same as 2009, each entry will include pre race meal for each rider and official event merobilia.

Rules
What is it all about?
The events are ten-hour endurance events, however that does not mean that every participant has to ride for a full ten hours. The expectation is that the majority of riders will be in teams and ride in a relay that is only one rider on the course at any time). Whilst not riding, the team, as well as preparing for the next ride and trying to relax can expect to be entertained with music and acts throughout the event.
The courses are all different however all have a good mixture of forestry roads and single track; look out for some new additions in Fort William, at Kirroughtree be prepared to be wowed by the flowing single track and some interesting natural sections, in Moray you can expect some surprises and some superb mountain bike terrain.
Come and join us for a weekend of Endurance Mountain biking some of the best venues that this country has to offer. Enjoy the event with friends and family as well as the other competitors and have fun at these friendly events. The course will be about 10 miles in length and will be 100% rideable. Each of the venues will offer a limited amount of camping (which we will take bookings for from the 1st of April, first come first served), Each venue will have some shower facilities and refreshments as well as entertainment throughout the race and the Saturday evening. State of the Art Computerized timing and lap recording. Progress- board updates throughout the events. Random prizes all day.

Rules and Regulations
It is important that you and your teammates and support crew read these very carefully.
Each lap is approximately 10 miles, under 1 hour for the fastest riders, nearly 2 hours for those who are new to the sport or are just that wee bit mope careful. The courses will consist of a bit of everything, including wide single track, narrow single track with rocks, roots, mud, fast flowing single track, low gear uphill’s, water crossings, technical ascents and descents, plus fire roads. The event is for solo riders and teams and is in a relay format.
Rules
1 Mandatory pr-event meeting at 0830 on Saturday for all team captains/team Leaders, although all riders and crew are encouraged to attend. Teams must designate a captain team leader (this will be understood to be No 1 on entry form) to handle all official matters including pre event meeting, picking up registration packs, making sure all teammates have correct numbers and have completed any paperwork etc.
2 each team and solo rider will bear reasonability for their timing. In order for laps to count riders must pass through the transition area and use the dibbers correctly every time a lap is completed.
3 Waiting riders should always check in with transition officials prior to starting their lap. Please adhere to the NO RIDE RULES in transition areas. Riders should only use solo riders area if they are in that class.
4 If a team member wishes to do two laps in a row it essential that they still dibb when passing through transition.
5 each team member and solo rider must complete a minimum of one lap. Teams will be penalized a lap for each lap not completed by each member except in the case of injury which must be reported to race official who will make final decision.
6 If a team member cannot complete his or her lap, the team has the option of starting the lap over with a new rider. They will however, lose the distance and time of the uncompleted lap. The replacement rider must check in with timing official prior to starting the lap.
7 For obvious safety reasons there is no reverse riding on the course.
8 Teammates may cannibalize each others bikes or swap if necessary. Riders may accept mechanical support on the course by any other registered rider, transition and camp areas is the only area where assistance from support crews is acceptable.
9 Riders may accept food and water from anyone on the course.
10 We strongly suggest that each team and solo rider have a support crew of at least 1 or 2 persons who are not taking part to assist with various jobs such as orginsing transitions, cooking and assisting with mechanical problems.
11 Bike wash areas will be available at each event. Toilets and showers will be available throughout the weekend. Please use the toilets provided.
12 If you are planning camping please pay attention to the website, camping list open on the 1st of April places will be limited and will cost £2 per night per head. Proof of booking will be required. Caravans and camper will also be limited.
13 You will need all your own camping supplies. A variety of food (hot and cold meals, soup and snacks) will be available for purchase at the transition area. Friday Saturday and Sunday. Check website for event specific updates.
14 riders may require lights, which must be at least 4 watts and be secured to bikes or helmet. NO FUSS will have final say when lights should be used.
15 If lighting is required it will be against the rules for riders to ride with their lights out to save batteries. Riders violating this rule will have their current lap nullified.
16 Only riders officially entered in the event or designated as “Official Course Marshals” may ride the designated course.
17 Wearing a buckled helmet is mandatory anytime you are on your bike in the race area ( not just when it is your lap)
18 All team captains must attend pre race meeting at 0830 on the Saturday
19 Ignorance Of any rule will not be accepted as an excuse.
20 Foul riding will not be tolerated, unsportsmanlike behavior is totally un-acceptable this includes the use of profane or abusive language, this rule is taken very seriously by NO Fuss and anyone who violates this rule shall be disqualified from this and any future NO Fuss events.
21 Shortcutting the course can be grounds for automatic disqualification of the solo rider or the entire team. If a rider makes a mistake and they report to officials before it is discovered, a time adjustment will be applied rather than a DQ.
22 Riders who are riding their bikes have the right of way over those who are pushing their bikes. Where practicable riders pushing should stay on the least rideable portion of the path when being passed. Riders are encouraged to call pleasantly “passing on the right or left” as appropriate.
23 All protests must be made by a team captain to a NO Fuss Official ( Frazer, Spook or Martin) Protests can be made throughout the event and up to 15 mins after the final results are posted. It would be appreciated if any protests could be made respectfully to the officials. No Fus officials say is final in all protests.
24 Safety on the course is our primary concern. If you come across an injured or a potentially unsafe situation, you are encouraged to stop and assist. If you stop to give assistance for a health and safety related reason, you should report your number to a passing number who will turn it in to the transition official so that your teams next rider may commence their lap. You must then complete your lap and report to the transition official and report the nature of the assistance you provided and an approximate duration of your stop. You will be assigned a lap time in accordance with your or your teams average times which ever is the faster. NB Time adjustments are made by a No Fuss official and are final. NOTE This rule applies to ONLY heath and safety concerns and not mechanical failure.
25 The NO FUSS OFFICIALS ( FRAZER, SPOOK and Chloe) will be given the final decision regarding any occurrence at the event including those not addressed in the rules
