After six long months, the off season is finally over and the EWS is back! This Sunday riders will be lining up on the start line of the Giant Toa Enduro at the opening event of Crankworx Rotorua. This one day epic will feature seven stages over 64km of classic New Zealand single track, new EWS presenter Ric McLaughlin took them on for your entertainment.
no kidding. I don't suffer motion sickness but after this I am so freakin' dizzy. don't need to smoke nor drink anything to fell this way. Maybe it would just even it out....
After a long winter's rest you can see this special genus of biker gather near the narrow tracks in the woods. These peculiar creatures of the forest battle for position in the troops hierarchy by flaunting their matching neon colored garments and by competing for the lowest tire pressures. They spend most of their time working on their bikes with primitive tools, but when they have finished the repairs they set off on the trails again to break those very same bikes. They usually ride these forest tracks as a troop, shouting much like apes do. These brightly colored forest dwellers are a specialized genus of mountainbikers, they are endubros.
More vids like this please. As someone who is super Endurocurious this was very informative. And that's one hech of a loop from town and back just for a casual ride. Racing it would be brutal.
So excited for the racing to get rolling! Check out this fantasy enduro site: fantasyews.com Should be a fun way to follow the action and compete against some friends!
@jor4s: @Maverickdh00: Richard Cunynghame decided to call it quits after 3 seasons. Ric McLaughlin and sometimes Tracy Moseley will handle commentary. I'm sure we will see @Cunny again.
I love they race/time the fun sections but do they really need to place them in a seven hour plus ride? Doesn't make sense when the top level XC races are like 90 minutes long.
Even local enduros do the same thing. It shouldn't be much easier for a average trail rider to race xc then enduro.
