The Enduro events are geared for mountain bikers that enjoy singletrack and are fit enough to ride uphills, but more importantly like riding downhills fast! Riders are only timed on certain stages, which are mostly downhill singletrack. The routes are not that technical, but when done at fast speeds, do get tricky… There are on average four special stages in a day of these events, and riders go to the start of the next stage in \u2018neutral\u2019 or \u2018liaison\u2019 sections. This creates a social atmosphere and gatherings at the refreshment station, before heading off to the next one.<\/p>\n

Although there are prizes for the top males & females and medals for all, the event is about pure mountain bike riding. Product sponsors include Leatt, cSixx and Giant bicycles.<\/p>\n

After the event, riders can relax with food, beer, coffee and cooldrinks on offer.<\/p>\n

Pre-entries only are taken, so visit www.dirtopia.co.za<\/a> to enter online. The total distances do not matter, as the an-aerobic exercise you get is enough to tire the fittest of riders. Timing is done with Amarider Trail Tags and times are immediately live on race day.<\/p>\n

Fees start at R300 per rider and you can call the Trail Centre at 0218844752 for any queries or mail info@dirtopia.co.za. The next Enduro event for 2016 will take place from Delheim wine estate on 13 November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
