First Enduro race tips

Go faster than the other riders!

In all seriousness, I do 2 hour hare scrambles here in Colorado and the best advice I can give you is to not blow your wad in the first 20 minutes. Find your pace, learn the terrain, find smooth lines, and try to go faster as the race goes on. I usually end up beating some riders that I know are probably faster than me, but they blow themselves out too fast.

Good luck! Im actually from Jersey originally too. What series are you doing?

Hydrate and have fun!!!! Don’t worry about being competitive! Fun is the goal! Not a plastic Trophy, those will come in time

All great advice. With an hour race I would probably bring a hydration pack but not fill it up all the way. Probably just need a few sips of water and a gulp or two.

Ride conservative at first and then try and ride harder as the race goes on.

One hour will go back quick so just try and have fun!

I’d sprint the first 5 miles…especially if you get a bad start…it’s easier to pass guys when they are all bunched together…then back it down to whatever pace you think you can maintain for the rest of the race…and then try and sprint the last 5 or so miles again.

Hydrate…a lot.
