Enduro 6 MTB Race
500 competitors will test themselves around a 6mile course of
undulating terrain to see how many laps they can fit into the

that riders are allocated a pit area to keep everything they
need for the duration of the race. Once the race starts the
pits are secured.
PIT TIPS - Suggestions of
things you might want in your pit are: spare bike, tyres,
tubes, pump, tools, lube, chain, food and drink, Thermos of
hot water, extra clothing, waterproof jacket, sun cream (we
can hope!), folding chair, umbrella, small tent, warm clothes
for in between laps, sense of humour (essential!)...
