What is ENDURO?

Enduro mountain bike racing started out in Europe with influence from car rally racing and motorbike enduro racing. The concept was simple: get yourself to the top of a mountain and race to the bottom time-trial style.

 

In general, modern enduro races involve anywhere from 3-6 timed stages. The timed portions of the race are mostly downhill but can vary in steepness, length, and difficulty depending on location. Between each stage, there will be untimed “transfer stages” that are mostly uphill. Depending on the race, transfer stages can involve sections of hike-a-bike, a chair lift, and/or good old-fashioned pedaling.

 

Enduro combines elements of all racing disciplines from the physical fitness necessary for cross-country racing, the mental stamina necessary for XC-style stage races, and the bike-handling skills to navigate technical gravity-fed singletrack.

 

But for the most part, enduro is meant to be a fun, approachable, and exciting form of mountain biking.

IMBA-SORBA Middle TN Chapter came into being in the Summer of 2005. Resources from the former Lock 4 Trailblazers along with stewards and equipment from the former Mountain Trails Mountain Bike Club transformed into our current chapter. Our chapter stewardship reaches throughout Middle TN and the eleven trail systems we currently maintain.  Percy Warner, Bells Bend, Cane Ridge, Lock 4, Montgomery Bell State Park, Long Hunter/Jones Mill Trail Trail, Shutes Branch, Cedar Hill, Barfield, and Hamilton Creek Trail are all part of our local trail network.
