Montana Enduro Series Round 2: Course Announcement

The Montana Enduro Series is back with Round 2 of the 2017 campaign! The MES will make its second stop at the Rossignol Ranch in Lolo, Montana. The Ranch also played host the Lolo 12 Hour Race, but it's never seen the likes of an enduro race. What does this mean? It means we're getting back to the roots of enduro: Everyone will be racing on new trails.

We're proud to announce the Round 2 of the Montana Enduro Series in conjunction with our friends at Trailforks.com!


Stage 1: This first stage is the most recent addition to the Ranch. This stage drops 380 feet over 0.72 miles. This trail has a lot of flow and a handful of switchbacks to keep your speed in check. Transfer back up the mellow fire road to the top of Stage 2.

Stage 2: The second stage is the longest of the day. It will likely see some land speed records broken, but you'll have to earn the quick times as there is a lot of pedaling in the top half. The bottom half is a combination of flow and more flow, with a big, steep, straight finish. Transfer back up the trail to the main junction, then back up the road to Stage 3.

Stage 3: This stage is enduro, pure and simple. It's the shortest stage of the day, but it is also going to be the most intense. Steep, raw, and completely new. Literally, the first riders down this stage will be the first riders ever down this gully. Where there's tape, stay between the tape, but other than that, hold on for the ride! Transfer back up is the same as Stage 2 to the main junction and onto Sound of Meadow. All von Trapp songs and dance references or reenactments will earn gold stars.

Stage 4: The Sound of Meadow from Cadillac Knob is Stage 4. This is the second-longest stage of the day, and will really test your tires - there are a couple turns that will test your ability to withstand g-forces. Transfer back up the singletrack to the start of the final stage.

Stage 5: Starting from the high point and travelling down the gully, this stage will be a high-speed adventure. You'll have a short climb then be into the main meadow and down to the finish line.
