Please note that you may only practice the routes if you have been part of the skills clinic - Its a long weekend so possible get-together on Saturday night... venue/time to be confirmed. Cheap beer/pizza, beer/burger or beer/wors roll option for those who would like to carbo-load for the race the next day - Race day 24 Sept : option of either Enduro full (5 Stages) or Enduro Lite (3 Stages).

MikeCT Posted July 25, 2017 Share Keen to enter. Where do we enter? Will be my first enduro, what protective gear is required, as I only have a helmet at the moment? Will the enduro light have the same 3 stages as the enduro full (barring the extra 2)? Trying decide which one I want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MphatiPyga Posted July 25, 2017 Share Hi Griffin, I'm assuming that's 23-24 September not November. Or is there another one in November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the enduro light have the same 3 stages as the enduro full (barring the extra 2)? Trying decide which one I want to do. Entries opening soon on ROAG. You don't have to have any extra gear. The enduro light is aimed as an intro to enduro so the stages aren't too hectic. It's more to show guys what the sport is about and how cool it can be. The full enduro has some knarly bits that might warrant some knee pads if you get it wrong. First 3 stages pretty much the same EXCEPT there will be bull runs for the guys doing the full and wanting to ride the hectic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I am going to enter the full as I know I am going to enjoy it, I was just worried I would hold people up behind me. But I will just move over for faster riders.

Griffin Posted August 2, 2017 Share Thanks Orbit and Griffin. Think I am going to enter the full as I know I am going to enjoy it, I was just worried I would hold people up behind me. But I will just move over for faster riders. Self seeding... if in doubt rather hang back and go later If there are faster guys who would prefer to be be last just let them know to give a decent gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
