North Shore Enduro Course Announced - Registration Open
Round 2 | June 7th-8th | North Shore Enduro | BC Enduro Series, Presented by NORCO | $90
REGISTER HERE - BC ENDURO SERIES
If you were going to spend one weekend of the year riding your bike, June 7th and 8th, should be the one! There is more bike riding happening this weekend then there are hipsters in Portland. It's a weekend of fun racing, socializing, bikes and good eatin'.
This round of the BC Enduro Series presented by Norco, is supported by one of the most well known shops on the North Shore, Norco John Henry Bikes and they have been on board helping out to ensure that the course is dialed, the music is pumpin' and the refreshments are kept cold. This two day Enduro is expected to be one of the most technical courses throughout the series, so bring your tubeless tires, your 160mm fork and your strong hands! But don't be scared off....the amount of mind blowing work that has been put into the trails over the past year, still allows for the course to cater to all styles of riders. If you feel intimidated, then just take your time and you will be sweet and super stoked by the end of the day.

Starting at Parkgate. Climb up Old Buck (which will be easier next year with the reroute), and further up and across to TNT.
St1 TNT-top part of Dales-Mushroom to power lines
Hang a left head to Pingu.
st2 Pingu-Pangor connector. To BP.
Back up to Severed
stg3 Severed-Shorn-C buster
Back up to the BP, scoot past Severed on the power line a few hundred meters
Stg4 Forever After
Stg5 Full Highscool back around to Bridal
Pedal bridal to the new cardiac
stg6 upper sticks and stones, down into the Blair range like the last toonie.
Granted TNT is quite a push up, so if that wouldn't work you could add more on after the High School stage, say pedal over and do Greenland-Bottletop (that little climb would be an equalizer!)
Just some suggestions. I understand it's very hard to please everybody, especially on the Shore :-)
