April 14-16, 2017 Boulder City, Nevada. A weekend of Enduro racing hosted by Josh Bender with Live Music, Great Food and Guayaki energizing refreshments. 8 timed stages with 8,000+ ft of descending. Registration BENDURO.COM
I would LOVE to do the Benduro. I do Kamikaze every year, have done a few of DH Mike's races etc... But here's the thing. I can afford a nice bike, trips and gear because I work a good job. I can disappear on bike and surf trips because i put in a lot of face time with my family........ ONE THING I CANT DO IS DISAPPEAR EASTER WEEKEND!
I would think if you really wanted a turn out and wanted to make this race available to tons of people, you would switch the dates in the coming years. Maybe that's the point? IDK? But it's kept me from attending 2 years running.
I would love to make Kamikaze and Benduro the only races I did all year.
Opposite for me. Since I'm not religious at all, Easter weekend works out better for me. I'd wager most mountain biker racers are not religious and that Easter weekend works out fine for them. Remember, it's business.
@blaklabl: everyone always calls for getting back to our grassroots, someone does just that, and you say it sucks. You might not be the biggest dick on here, but you're still a dick.
