Feedback after the event:
The Club Enduro is our first event of the summer riding season. Its a chance for us to reconnect over what we all love – mountain biking at Arapuke!
This year we have spiced it up a little bit. We have the easy course which will have 3 stages (Grade 3) for a fun event. The hard course will be 5 stages and will be hard. It will have grade 4 and 5 trails.
This is a fun event and everyone is welcome to come and ride, only members riding the hard course will be in the running for the enduro champ title. Riders of all levels are encouraged and supported to participate, whether it’s your first race or you are riding for the champ title.
We have a hydration station at the top of the park sponsored by J T Coaching.
You may want to participate as a minder riding after your child on the course, there is no cost to do this. Just enter as a minder when you enter. A minder rider is only allowed on the easy course.
There will be a BBQ back at the Kahuterawa carpark and a low-key prizegiving. The club champ trophies will be handed out at the club AGM.
We will have a “Joker Trail” on the day where the fastest time will get a $100 Cash Prize!
