Mountainbike Enduro is here!


Enduros growing, love this style of mtb bike racing, core racing

Rocky Mountain Element






Kona will soon be gone and this 15" little rig will take over as my xc bike and all-mtn rig when tracks are little flat like last weekends enduro1. Should be over from Canada in the next week with a bit of luck, so look for some build pics when its all done and some trail GoPro's.

Enduro1 round 2 race..

So it was round 2 and the tracks were very much super-d than dh based, in fact stage 1 and 8 it was pure high post stuff, no shock that short stroke 29ers were the bike of the day if not hardtails, I was on the covert with some soft settings and a 180 fork.. still i rode the wheels off it and ended up 22nd overall for the day. not what i hoped for but given the tracks and the bike i was on im not over happy with it. Few months till round 3 . time to get my head down and do some riding.

ENDURO1 round 2

This Sunday we head to round two of the all-mtn enduro series, having placed 16th at round one on my xc hardtail it will be my first ride on the Covert.. It would of been nice to get it built and have a small ride on it before the event but thats just the way it has gone, Last weekend we hit the Quantocks again but this time on the xc hardtail, Riding with two guys that have been on a couple Trail Head skills coaching courses we hit there local, I have to say i rode well, Bring on the enduro and i hope it works out well.
