Grand Enduro | 49mph on a rock

 Put The Grand Enduro on your short list of races to attend in 2018. What a privilege it was to race some of the iconic trails in the Grand Valley. Huge props to the organizers and volunteers for pulling off a perfect event. 

Here is a little throw back from a #followcamfriday episode that I produced with Noah Sears about 6 months ago on The Ribbon. After posting the video, people were asking me how fast we were actually going..... For some reason, I wasn't running my Garmin and I really had no idea. Or, maybe I just didn't really want to know.....

Well, there's the answer. The clock doesn't lie. The Ribbon would be stage 1 of the Grand Enduro and the promoters had the brilliant idea to put a radar gun in the fastest bit. Three of us tied for 49mph. Let me be clear in saying that the slightest mistake would have surely result in death..... I love bike racing! More of this please! My goal for the weekend was to win the top speed challenge. Stage two was the Gunny descent, followed up by Free Lunch, Pucker up, to Moto. Amazing tracks. So nice to race some proper tech. And then we drank beer and ate tacos......

Fine racing gents! Noah worked his ass off to make this event work out, glad to se him on the box. Danimal was able to make it to the bottom without destroying his bike!
