The United Kingdom's enduro mountain bike scene will get a boost in 2010 with a new eight-hour event. The Muc-Off 8 will be run on a 600-acre private estate Pippingford Park in East Sussex on April 11. Solo racers and teams of two, three and four will compete for eight hours, trying to complete as many laps as possible, with only one rider from each team on the course at any given time.
