Hi Richard,

 

Enduro in MTB terms is not the same as what you're presenting here.

 

Endurance might be more appropriate.

 

Good luck with the event!

[olram_df]

^^ was thinking the same...just saying

[Richard Beswick]

Hi Skandalis

 

 

 

I'm aware of the mx and now mtb enduro term but we have always used it as a shortened form of endurance. maybe one day as enduro gets bigger we will have to change the name but for now im sure people can figure it out.

Just be careful that folk don't drive up from Kzn (or further) with their full faced helmets.

 

Might get awkward

[RockCoach]

or maybe, we will just add in some form of typical

 

enduro racing to the event

 

Has Avianto got enough elevation to build a couple of Enduro descents? Probably need at least 2kms with 100m drop.

[Richard Beswick]

I think we could get pretty close

[Thug]

I've done the 12hr for the last two years. Excellent course and venue but the thunderstorms at around 19:30 play havoc.

[Nofearnofun]

I got all excited when I saw the title

[deviate]

yeah... title change would be nice...

[flat29]

yes, make the title 6/12 hour race. will be there for solo. sweet

6/12th's?

[nolipoli]

Just because you like to shorten the the name "Endurance" by NO Syllables, doesn't make it correct.

 

If you can't get the name of the discipline right, it doesn't speak highly of the event you are organising.

 

Just change the name and avoid the flack.

half-hour race?

 

Seriously. Enduro suggests something completely different to this. Just call it the Varsity College 12 Hour Challenge.

 

I actually thought this was a proper Enduro race. Then I saw Avianto in the same sentence and it all became clear.
