Enduro World Series Announces 2021 Calendar
The EWS has announced an 8 round series for 2021 with 2 rounds in the USA, a return to Scotland and some new venues too. Here's how the EWS describes the upcoming season:
"The season will get underway in New Zealand in April, visiting Nelson for the first time in the series’ history. Situated on the Northern tip of the South Island, this small city is famous for clocking up the most sunshine hours in the country, but also its steep, natural and burly trails. Round two heads back to the inimitable Derby, Tasmania. This tiny town has embraced mountain biking and in just a few years created one of the most iconic riding destinations in all of Australia. It’ll be the third time the series has visited Derby and with good reason - their ever expanding trail network has twice been voted the Specialized Trail of the Year.
"For round three it's back to one of the UK’s most famous venues, the Tweed Valley in Scotland. After a six year hiatus the series will return to the hallowed trails of Innerleithen and the surrounding hills, which for the last three decades have acted as the proving grounds for some of the biggest names in the sport. Val Di Fassa in Italy will play host to EWS round four. This stunning venue nestled high in the Italian Dolomites became an instant rider favourite when it first appeared on the calendar in 2019, featuring long, physical stages amongst some of Europe’s most dramatic terrain.
"It’s across the pond to the USA for round five, for the series’ second visit to Burke Mountain in Vermont. Serving up some classic East Coast riding, Burke’s trails will make their EWS debut later this season when they host round six. Famed for its raw and technical terrain, Burke will offer up a challenge to even the most experienced of racers. And for the first time in the series history, there will be a second USA stop, as round six heads to the West Coast and one of California’s most talked about mountain bike destinations, Northstar. The resort’s dry and rocky trails pushed riders to the limit when they were featured in the 2019 calendar.
"Round seven needs little introduction, as the series heads north to Whistler for its annual pilgrimage to Crankworx. This firm fan and rider favourite has appeared on every EWS calendar since its inception in 2013 and it's not hard to guess why - Whistler is home to one of the most iconic trail networks in the world. For the final round of the EWS the series will crown its series champions in the sport’s spiritual home of France for the first time. Loudenvielle in the Vallee Du Louron in the French Pyrenees of the country offers up a slice of classic French enduro - steep and natural trails and of course, some of those infamous French switchbacks."

With riders who are powered by a meat free diet
Ps congrats on your ability to lick your own balls or region where your balls once were. I could only dream of such skills.
Ha Ha are you mad? Meat is the reason we are human, it's the cornerstone of building any successful athlete. Also if you're worried about the black on meat please don't eat toast
Why dont you try and help athletes with healthy food.
I had the pleasure of writing a literature review on Keto diets for diabetes so I have some understanding of it's workings. Meat has the highest quality protein ans should feature in every developing athletes diets
Please watch 'The Game Changers" on Netflix or YouTube.
Everything in moderation.
People have been eating meat since the dawn of humanity.
If you don’t want to, good for you. Let others make the choice for themselves without being subjected to your inane ramblings.
The different human teeth have developed (or created) to enable us to enjoy an Omnivorous diet. This means we can eat both plant based & meat based diet to obtain our protein, carbohydrates, fats & fibres; thus enabling us to enjoy a balanced diet when all groups are ingested in a moderated way.
Hoping that explains it.
Does that explain it Dylan, you tit?
Enjoy your evening.
Once again, enjoy your evening.
Enjoy your evening as well ✌
I am perfectly able to admit I am wrong & in no way am I an ignorant person.
A wise man, wiser than you or I will ever be, once wrote "Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong."
Humans cannot digest cellulose, which I would say is supporting evidence for someone who claims we should not eat plants. Now I’m not one such person, but I do believe humans have been eating animals since they had the ability to catch animals.
I’m fine with it if someone wants to eat a no-meat diet. I’m fine if people want to smoke, drink, eat butter, drink cow milk, whatever. Drink their own piss, eat stinky tofu or bats.
Just don’t go telling me what I can eat, should eat, was designed to eat etc. It's not cool. I will eat what I want, like, can afford. I like meat, I believe my species is perfectly capable of eating meat, and I will continue to do so as long as there is life in my body.
If anyone chooses not to eat it, or believe that we shouldn't eat it, that's awesome. I disagree but that's what makes life interesting isn't tit?
I have no retort other than, "I'm out."
Please do not reply... Thanks.
"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something."
Tell that to these guys,

Teeth don't matter as humans have opposable thumbs which allows us to use tools.
Or anatomy evolved around long distance running, we can out run everything, we have a specific cooling system to assist. We also have the most accurate long distance throw and shoulder anatomy to give us the advantage.
It's great your interested in evolution but please don't get your information from propaganda movies on Netflix, go to LibGen and download some biology text books.
Happy reading.
I don't know about the martial artists
This is the same BS I constantly hear, all there athletes grow and get to a point on sport where they are successful and start eating well on plants (with adequate supplements ????) and they forget what got them there. This is never communicated to the young athletes who put their careers at risk thinking they can live on beans ????
Happy Reading
I wonder if in another 40 years the middle-aged folks then will be unable to change their views on the so called “climate emergency.”
Their teen children will come home from school and be like “Dad, we should switch to fossil fuels. The earth is cooling at a faster rate than at any time in history. Five of the coldest 20 years since records began have occurred in the last 20 years and the only possible explanation is humans using too much renewable energy.”
And the dads be like “No. global warming, fossil fuels, climate emergency. I’m not listening to you!”
And the other perhaps more important point is that even if everything you wrote about meat is true, which I doubt it is, I don't care!
Best wishes.
Do I care if the Antarctic melts? Absolutely not. It won't melt in my lifetime. After I'm dead, I couldn't give a flying f*ck what happens on this planet.
All the species will be extinct one day, whether Antarctica melts or not.
You're just being a tit for your own amusement aren't you? Well it's worked, because I am laughing a little bit, so thanks for that. Your comments are fluctuating in their inanity just to keep us all sucked in. It's working! Keep them coming...
So shut up and stay out if this if you didnt read the past messages.
Dylan, you can be ardent with your information, and that really is a great thing for a young mind. In this case though you are coming across as arrogant & belligerent, therefore your message is getting lost. It really is okay to have a different opinion to other people without being contemptuous towards them.
I understand you believe in your knowledge & want to share it, but this isn't the way to go about it. All you will do is alienate those who you seek to educate.
Wha? Is that the same as Colorado being US not North America?
Nothing as complex as that
Scotland is part of the UK, kinda like a ‘state’, which is in the continent of Europe
Similarly Colorado is a state of the US, which is in North America
This guy gets it
I think they try to keep the events grouped too, as it allows privateers a little easier access.
