Enduro Series 2012 in Font Romeu

jo — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:10:58 +0000

The first stage of the Enduro Series will take place in font Romeu on the 26^th and 27^th of May.

The Enduro Series is the official National Enduro Cup, it’s a stage race where only the descents are timed, no training on the track and natural single tracks only. Another particularity is each racer is equiped with an electronic chip and can start whenever he fancies, so you can ride with your mates.Registration opens on the 1st of February, be quick places sell like hot cakes!

Our gîte, is located only 10min away from Font Romeu, with its pumptrack and great food (everything home made and cooked by Françoise), it’s an ideal accomodation.

Jo can help you sharpen your technique for race-day (and the rest of your riding life!) and show you around his favourite trails, so why not come over and discover the area with us ? Give us a shout !
