2015 California Enduro Series: Round Two, Pro Podium

Jun 14, 2015 at 20:14
by California Enduro Series  
289 riders arrived in the town of Casper California for the inaugural Wild Wood Adventure Enduro, almost doubling the population of the small coastal town. The stoke was high for this event - this is the first 2-day enduro for the California Enduro Series, in a region that very few riders are familiar, and the longest race in the series. The excitement was so high, when registration opened in March the race sold out in 30 hours - and then when 50 more spots were made available in May, they sold that same day. Riders were greeted by the very enthusiastic local bike community, led by the Mendocino Bike Sprites. The weather was perfect, the trails were in great shape, and the locals had everything dialed - we were all set for an awesome weekend of enduro racing!

 Great race, location and riders! Tight trails, fun descents and sweet forested trails (minus the fire road-ish stuff). Looking forward to another big weekend in Mendo area in the near future. Great job CES!

 Mendocino Bike Sprite does not have a public shop yet. They are a guide service at the moment! Hit them up - they can either walk you through the map or guide you for the day. Just my $0.2 - I would recommend getting a guide, I did 2 days with a map and it was challenging. Had to stop at every turn and check the map. The trails are like a honeycomb! Stay at Jug Handle Creek farm too.
