Finale Ligure SuperEnduro 2012

Line up shoulder to shoulder with some of the legends of DH and XC riding.

Marking a new era in mountain biking, the Superenduro race is not a cross country or downhill competition, but a race designed around the riding that we all love to do. Think of it as tough trail riding, using the kind of bike that most riders own. If you love messing about on challenging trails with your mates, you will love the atmosphere and trails of the SuperEnduro format. The Superenduro race takes place over a weekend on a circuit marked with a variable number of timed special stages, mostly downhill, but with a few timed climbs thrown in for good measure. This new concept favours all-round riders, so you will see World Cup downhillers lining up shoulder to shoulder with XC whippets, and although the front runners are competing for the top spots, most folk are there for the excellent atmosphere and great trails. The ranking of each competitor is derived from the sum of their times in the special stages, riding time between stages is not timed, however there are lenient time limits imposed for each competitor to ensure everyone gets round in time.

Number for the race are strictly limited to 400 riders so get in early to avoid disappointment.

So you can get the most out of your SuperEnduro experience, we will be a running a 5 day fully supported racing itinerary. We will transfer you and your bike to your comfortable hotel, provide you with 3 days of guided riding, sort out all your race registrations and ensure you are in the right place at the right time, all you have to do is enjoy the fabulous event. In the 3 days leading up to the Weekend race we will show you some of the finest trails in Europe. We will guide you through dusty, flowing natural singletrack, over incredible technical rocky trails and though lush tree lined gullies. You can expect to ride for around 8 hours a day with plenty of stops for food and to take in the views, and the serious climbs will be done in the comfort of our uplift van. We will tailor the itinerary to the group and conditions and if there is a particular trail you would like to ride, our guides will be happy to help. We will guide you through some of the classic trails such as the incredible Madonna della Guardia gully trail, the old Enduro trail as well as a few well kept secret runs. When the race comes around, you will have your trail skills dialled and be well acclimatised to the dusty trails. We will also find you the best eateries and ice cream vendors so you can absorb the cool Italian culture and soak up the festival vibe.
