WELCOME!!!
The Grand Enduro is a Grand Valley classic and hosted on one of the

few "shuttle-able" local trails. MAD Racing Colorado secured the
nd
permits to take you down this legendary route for the 2 year in a
row. You'll start on an otherworldly, humongous slab of rock and be
hitting speeds in excess of 30mph in a matter of seconds. Riders
who aren't racing generally take their time on this section and carve

the lunar-like landscape, but the clock is running on you! You need
to get off that rock and onto the singletrack as soon as possible!

We'll have it heavily taped, but pay particular attention during prac-
tice for landmarks that'll help you navigate the correct route - a

missed turn or off-course excursion up here could at best cost you
loads of time and at worst send you plummeting off a cliff! Are you

ready to push the edge?!

Rules & Tips






 MAD Racing Colorado and BLM are working hard together to ensure quality of the surround-
ing environment is preserved by minimizing impacts.
 Stay within the singletrack tread and pass in areas that allow for safe and responsible passing
and do not cut corners. Participants that need to dismount from their bicycle should move
their bike and themselves off the trail in a manner that doesn’t impact the soil or vegetation.
Avoid touching the delicate, black crust on the soil (cryptobiotic soil).

 All enduro mountain biking participants are required to wear eye protection and a helmet
that complies with U.S. CPSC safety standards for bicycle helmets.
 Each rider is expected to complete the entire course. If they do not complete the entire
course, the participant is considered a Did Not Finish (DNF). If a rider is a DNF they should not
cross the finish line upon return to the start/finish-line area. They are expected to report to
the Timing Tent at any stage, to inform Event Timing they are no longer on the course and did
not complete the ride.

 Each participant must be considerate of other riders when passing or being passed. Verbal
communication and/or the use of a bell are necessary for a successful pass. When being
passed, please provide adequate space when available for the faster rider to go by.

 Participants are required to complete the entire course on the same bike they started the
event on. All bikes should be of the ‘mountain bike’ genre (geometry, tires, cranks, handle-
bars, etc.).

 Always abide by the laws and rules of the road and/or governing land agency when appropri-
ate. The roads are not managed and regulated during the event. Ride with caution!
 Headphones connected to MP3 players or similar devices that prohibit a rider’s ability to hear
activity around them are not permitted.
 Littering is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

 Thank the volunteers; the event couldn’t happen without them.

 Please consider spectating at the designated spectator zones and respect the surrounding
soils / vegetation. BLM evaluates these spectator areas to protect sensitive resources such as
endangered hookless cactus species and cultural resources. If you have any questions or con-
cerns, please email them to [email protected]. In the meantime, your coop-
eration is greatly appreciated.
