It's time to get some practice in for the Redemption Enduro at The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This is Sarah's first enduro so I thought I'd give her (and you) a few tips if you've never taken the plunge and raced.

Ooof. Yeah. I had to bail out of my first Enduro race a few stages in. The fitness just wasn't there to keep up two full days of riding - the practice was completely necessary since going in blind would have been dangerous, but not having the legs to race a full day suckeddd.

Enduro is the most chilled and fun type of MTB racing. It still requires good fitness but you need to have the bike skills too so Roadies don't just run away with it like in some XC races. I see it like a ride with your mates, you all ride to the tops at a casual pace and blast down the descents.

@keirfarnum6811 3 жыл бұрын

When I was racing off road in Alaska in the 90s, the roadies tried, but did not succeed. They just didn’t have the bike handling or descending skills.

@kenbest76 3 жыл бұрын

I have the same sentiment when it comes to XC races. I get passed on the climbs and then I get stuck behind that same person on the fun downhill sections. I don't care if I get passed, I don't care if I come in last (which I have). Just don't ruin the few fun parts for me 😂

@Happy_Biker 3 жыл бұрын

Enduro race stages are only downhill. With some exceptions, you're required to climb to the next stage, and the climb is not a part of the race, although there is a time limit to get to the next stage.

@willbros1499 3 жыл бұрын

In the case of our local enduro's in Arkansas, the timed "downs" aren't all downhill. There are frequently level, and even slightly uphill parts within the stages, and it's not steep enough in most places that you don't have to pedal to be going as fast as the fit riders will be going. It's a grind. It's not the "downhill" experience that some perceive. It will TEST every aspect of your riding!

I mean... leave the GoPro at home unless you’re a pro, and they GoPro their pre-race to go over the footage of each stage repeatedly between pre-ride and race day. They will be at the top of a stage on race day watching the footage of their pre-ride of the stage.

Incorrect. Downhill races are timed on the downhill portion because that's all there is. Enduro races are timed on the downhill portion but you still have to ride the uphills too.
