You Asked, We ListenedAfter the initial release of the
OSPREY Canadian National Enduro Series, presented by NOBL, the Pinkbike Community and a few friends let us know how they really felt (@makripper said: "..at least have one race out east"). So we listened!!! Well, it was already sort of in the works, but we really valued everyones input.
Welcome to the Mont-Sainte-Anne, GAAP EnduroThis race is being organized and executed by the
GAAP Enduro, in affiliation with the OSPREY BC Enduro Series(BCES) and OSPREY Canadian National Enduro, presented by
NOBL Wheels (CNEC). The GAAP Enduro is in its third year and have been featuring some amazing trails in the Mont-Sainte-Anne Region of Quebec, these aren't your 26" wheel toting, Lululemon pant wearing, kosher trails. These are the real deal!
You can expect the course to take approximately 3-4 hours to complete and it will contain; 4 timed stages, with technicals sections of rock, roots , open/high speed, flowy (Quebec style) sections, jumps ,drops, wood bridges & little pedalling section and plenty of pedalling during the transitions.
There will be a very festive vibe in typical Quebecois style, plenty of poutine to keep you hydrated and the end of the race will finish beside a waterfall. The waterfall is mainly there to keep the beer cold.

Probably the worse type of flow there is... Our trail builders really need to get out of the 1990's.
My 26 hardtail is waiting at the front door for the morning . I almost wish I had something from lululem to put on in the morning
The Quebec event was added for East Coast riders that wanted to compete in the CNEC, but didn't have the time or the budget to come spend 2-3 weeks in BC. So we gave them a somewhat local event. Now they can race in August, in Quebec) and then head West for Sun Peaks or Revelstoke (Revy is on a long weekend, before school starts, for a reason
Don't stress yourself out about trying to make it out there, instead, just come to Sun Peaks and Revy, grab a pint and shred your bike!
Assuming that's what's next for EWS?..
YEOW!
And both have some Superb enduro/XC terrain.
Lets make it happen cap'n
What is going on?
