After a 4 week break since the last BC Enduro Series presented by Norco Bikes race in Kelowna, we are ready to get things rolling again, this time on the Sunshine Coast. We all know how much we love to ride the Coast trails and to have an excuse to get over there even though you do have to battle with the ferries! The Sunshine Coast Enduro is supported by
Off the Edge Adventure Sports.
We have a fantastic course lined up, incorporating some trails that are new, some trails you wouldn't normally ride, along with some all time favourites! Did we mention the final day finishes at the Persephone's Brewing Beer Farm?

BC Enduro Series falls under Cycling BC? Suncoaster is under Cycling BC as well?
BCES says a full face is recommended. BC DH rules state that a full face helmet is required for practice and race runs
Not sure how two separate race series, run under the same organization, doing a race run down the same course can have different requirements for helmets?
I fully expect a copout response full of smaller travel bikes, lesser speeds, jumps being flagged off, racers wearing fanny packs...
Like I said...
