5 Days and Counting...

Riders ready, watch the gate! Get ready boys and girls, this year is going to be one of the best enduros yet. My hands and back are in pain for all the trail work that took place this weekend, but my pain is your gain.. This year you will once again be tested and I hope will ask yourself wtf on a few times throughout the weekend. I would recommend bringing some suspension for a few of the stages this year. If you don't have it, don't worry, you will survive..

So, here is the plan:

Saturday: Meet at Alexander Mountain Bike Park for XC, Fourcross and DH events at 10:00 am. We'll start with XC so as to get the suffering over with first then move on to more gravity assisted events DH and Fourcross. There will be more events/festivities taking place later in the day and start times will be based on how long it takes to wrap up the first three events.

Saturday Night: 8 o'clock Party at the Crow's Nest. 105 Orchard Place Asheville NC 28801. DJ Big Hair will be rocking the beats and a late night Best Trick (on Rollers) will take place for points towards the overall ranking. Parking on the hill is limited so please park in the gravel lot at the corner of Cherokee and Orchard Road or better yet ride a bike! Hike up the hilll where you see the tiki torches and you're here.

Sunday: Meet at Bent Creek Neighborhood Park at 10:30. Pumptrack TT, Skinnies, Short Track TT and "Almost DH" race will take place. Sunday afternoon will feature Short Track DH at the Caldwell Compound with BBQ and after party.

That's the overview, you know the drill. Show up and ride your bike like a rockstar.

It's just another Bomb Track.



Get ready for some bomb singletrack this year and some funky radical backyard tracks. 



The End-uro is coming, are you ready?

Enduro Twenty-11 is coming October 8th-9th. Take off work, tell your significant other you're going to be busy for two days and come ride you bike harder than you ever have. All you single speed party boys and girls, endurance or gravity freaks who like to ride bikes all day (and night) are welcome to test your skills at the Enduro where it takes fitness, skills and some rock star training to make the top 5 of this event.

As you may know by now the Enduro offers roughly ten different events that test the skills of various dirt riding disciplines and a few others. Your limits will be pushed and you will leave a better rider in more ways than one. Most events push you in one aspect of riding, the Enduro provides a testing ground for your mountain biking strengths and weaknesses that is unlike any other mountain bike event I am aware of. For those not comfortable confronting the weaknesses in your bike game then you can still come out and shine in one or two events and feel like your fast. But, you will not have the honor of holding the title of the Most Bad Ass Mountain Biker in the World or the MBAMBW.

Additional information on this years events will be found here in the two weeks leading up to the event but you know the drill by now. Show up, ride and have fun. If you want to know more about the Enduro, check out some previous blog post and you'll have a good idea of what is about to go down.
