I did the Trans BC Enduro this summer and loved it... and I like the idea of having something really hard on the calendar to work and train for. Unfortunately, there's a pretty small number of similar events, even fewer in North America - so I was thinking about creating an unofficial "event" that would be open to anyone that wants to do it.
- Three or four days of big days on the bike, all based in one location
- Location changes every year
- Can do it solo or with a group of friends
- Do it on your own schedule within a set timeframe (ie., August '25), days must be consecutive
- Racers deal with their own meals, transportation, lodging, etc
- Stage times will be from Strava segments
- If there are shuttles involved, I'd try to make logistics simple or coordinate with an existing shuttle service
- No entry fee
I wonder if there's enough interest if it was purely underground / not official and it was all word of mouth? We might be able to get a couple small sponsors for prizes, etc, but I'm sure there are unnecessary regulations on anything formal when it comes to the USFS, etc. I'd be willing to build out a website, put together the stages each year, and track participants and results each year since that's pretty minimal work.
