Preriding for the Enduro can be done on any other day prior to January 21st! The Courses for the Enduro will be Marked the weekend prior! Attention all ENDURO racers, The timeline for the Enduro races is as follows: 6:00am - 7:45am same day registration open 7:45am Mandatory racer meeting at start finish line 8:00am Racers head to start of Enduro #1 9:00am Enduro #1 Starts ( Racers need to be at the start line prior to 9:00am) 10:30:00am Racers Start Enduro #2 (racers need to be at start line prior to 10:30) 12:00 Racers start Enduro #3 (racers need to be at the start line of Enduro #3 prior to 12noon ) Awards to follow directly after all racers cross the Enduro #3 finish line Turner Bicycles has partnered with SoCal Endurance on the SoCal Enduro races! It is great to have Dave Turner and his company on board to help make our events a success! Turner will provide custom painted 5 Spot frames to a lucky raffle winner at each of the Enduro races! For more info on the 5 Spot check out: www.turnerbikes.com Here's how it works: 1. Pre registration is currently open only Active.com. for this first race we are limiting the number of spots to 20 per category. Online reg will close 2 days prior to race day! We will keep folks informed on the number of slots available as the event gets closer. Onsite registration and racer check in takes place at 6:30 am - 7:45 am race morning. There is a mandatory racer meeting at 7:45 at the start finish line! Keep in mind you must be at the start of the first race by 9am. It takes most about 10-15 minutes to go from bottom to top, but if you've never ridden it go early! For some on big bikes it takes 20-30 minutes. We will close portion of the climb after 9am. So in a phrase " Be there or be square " (You must pedal to each of the staging areas prior to the start of each race. Any racer late to staging will receive a negative time penalty to be added to their race time!) Each category will send 5 racers at a time from the start line. For instance if you have 10 racers in a category, we will have 2 heats of 5 racers per heat. If there is an odd number of racers in a category the race director will mix the heats accordingly. The racers will be timed from the top to the bottom of each race course. At the end of the day the total time from all 3 races will be tallied and the overall victory will go to the racer with the lowest time! pedal to stage 1 2. The first race of the day takes place at 9:00 am. The first race course will be about 8 -10 minutes long and consist mostly of downhill with a couple of pedaling sections thrown in for fun! The downhill in the first race will tend to be a bit more technical and fast! It is meant to emphasize trail biking and downhill skills. But it is not a scary downhill course! This is a Enduro! At the end of the race results will be tallied and posted. pedal to satge 2 3. The second race of the day will start at 10:30 pm. The second race course will about 8 -10 minutes long and consist of mostly downhill with a few pedaling sections thrown in for more fun! This race will feature less technical sections and a couple of short steep sections at key points. But this race is not XC and not Short Track! It is an Enduro - where gravity is your friend! At the end of the race results will be tallied and posted. pedal to stage 3 3. The third and final race of the day goes off at 12:00 noon The third course of the day will be about 10 -15 minutes in duration and consist mostly of downhill with a few pedaling sections thrown in for the most fun! The third and final race will have a great combination of the previous 2 races. It will be mostly downhill with a few technical sections, some pedaling sections, and a few short steeps to keep you on you game! But remember this is not a Downhill course or an XC course it is Enduro! Super FuNNN! At the end of the third and final race results will be tallied and posted. 4. Please remember this is not a downhill event. These events take endurance, skills, and anaerobic conditioning. There are uphills and pedaling sections throughout the day! Strategy and race experience will help you plan your day, to include race nutrition and time lines. You must be at the start area at the designated time or face a negative time penalty. 5. Each race will be timed, each racer will be ranked according to the place they came in. All 3 Races for the Day will combine times for the racers overall time.
