Maramarua 3-Day ENDURO Update

Posted: Mon 27 May 2013

We will NOT be impounding bikes for the M3DE – this means you can ride day one and then decide if you want to ride day two. If you complete the two days successfully you might as well ride the 3rd day too.

ONLY EXPERT RIDERS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE OVERALL M3DE MAJOR TROPHY

Certificates for first three intermediate riders in the M3DE

Saturday start time is 9:00 sharp

Sunday start time is 10:00 sharp

Monday is 10:00

Terrain Tests may be walked on Friday 31 May from midday onwards. Come to the forest HQ and see the staff on site.

There are three Terrain tests that can be walked:

1. DRD Test is on Okaeria Road – at northern boundary of the forest on the eastern side of Okaeria Road. A sign will be up – walk in 300 meters to the start. You walk past the finish of the terrain test to the start.
2. ACERBIS Test is at the HQ and is right at the entrance to the forest. You can see the arrows and tape as you drive in.
3. Enduro X Test is also at the HQ behind the sign on shed. This includes the Enduro X Course.

All the tests are about 5 km long.

Other Terrain Tests:
The Trail Terrain Tests (Browns Road and Ride Red Ridge) will be ridden before you race them. They will be signposted for your look lap on the course.

The timing will be REAL TIME – Cards will be issued with times, distances and averages so you will know exactly what you need to do and where to be and at what time.

The Experts will be seeded in the Championship Standings as they are at the moment. So expect to get numbers relating to your standing.

Intermediates and Juniors will have slower time schedules as this can be done with REAL TIME – makes for a great ride for you guys.
