I always thought this simply qualifies as a standard mtb stage race then?

 

astute observation, apart from the fact that a standard mtb stage race is held over a period of days, whereas an enduro race's stages are all completed in one day.

 

And also, a mtb stage race is typically geared at entertaining corporate fatcats who reckon that single track qualifies as technical terrain, and anything with a berm should be rated black on the IMBA scale.

 

Enduro on the other hand will perceive a track with gap jumps and road gap jumps, drop offs and rock gardens as possibly blue according to IMBA.

There I was thinking Enduro should conform to FIA Standards. . . . . . . . .

My Frey ebike changed my life from weekend worrier, hurting and grinding along, avoiding long steep rides to a fun adventure riding further no matter how steep or how I feel. The Cape trails were made to be enjoyed and explored :)

Yeah, no judgement here. Status Quo is no joke.

Endurance is what I do

 

Enduro is doing 5 laps of chicken chicken knee and then hitting anniversary hill

  • Maybe they all got a mechanical at the same time and no-one has any tools / technical skills to fix the problems at hand
  • Maybe they're just taking their bikes for a walk
