The North Shore Ripper Bike Fest's
Adidas Eyewear Chainless DH is followed with June the 9th's
Specialized Euro Enduro.
Following a wildly successful format of new school racing, riders are timed on three downhill sections of a classic Shore loop. They can get to the downhill sections however they want with the only limit that they have to get to downhill starts by a certain individually outlined time. The riders will only be timed for their descents. The 'race' is the combined time of the three descents. The spirit of the event is a great group ride with bragging rights for the DH sections.
The course map
is here. Riders were timed on the classic Shore descents
- Corkscrew, Pingu, Pangor
- Severed Dick, Shorn Scrotum (new connecting trail), C-Buster, Applicator
- Bottletop
Masochists could also do an optional climb. Apparently there's a lot of people into self-flagellation as almost half the field opted to do the Specialized Ground Control Hill climb and walked away with tires.
Pictures and
results from the event are here. There are more pictures in
Justa Jeskova's page, Lee's
Facebook set, and this
Pinkbike album and Berglind's photos for the
Chainless downhill and today's
Euro Enduro.
