finished my first enduro yesterday

H2only · 10-05-2009, 12:24 PM

Did my first enduro race yesterday, it was about 49 miles of wooded trail riding. Enduro's are a checkpoint timed race over a variety of technical terrian, you get points for coming to a checkpoint too early or too late from the posted timeframe, the person with the fewest points wins. So its a challenging race as well as a specified timed and mental race. It was tough, I am used to technical riding, but it took about 4 hours to cover the 49 miles and I am not used to pushing my body non-stop for that long. I am glad I did it, and now I want to do more. Here is a small video showing what an enduro is, in case you dont know.
