Endurance Mountain Biking: Reserved For The Best

The sport of mountain biking, as an enjoyable and relaxing outdoor activity, is attracting ever-increasing numbers of every age and background. There are many organized outdoor events and competitions which include on their list of activities both mountain biking and endurance mountain biking.

Endurance mountain biking is a form of exercise appropriate only for those in the peak of condition; a single competition, depending on its category, can continue for up to twelve hours. Endurance mountain biking, therefore, is reserved for professional bikers who have proven that they are up to the demands involved. How is an endurance mountain biking event structured?

Categories

Endurance mountain biking events are divided into three categories according to their length. There are three-hour, six-hour, and twelve-hour races; the three-hour races are restricted to solo men and solo women. The six-hour events are open to either solo men and solo women, or duos–two riders of either sex; and twelve-hour races allow the broadest range of riders. They can be solo men or women; duos of either sex; solo single speeders–either one man or one woman; a women’s team of between two and four women; and an open team of two to four riders of either sex.

Endurance mountain biking events require that the competitors register with the organizers beforehand, and, in some cases, submit to physicals. They are also required to have their own approved safety equipment, including gloves, helmets, and knee pads. They are expected to wear accepted biking attire, with completely enclosed shoes and the endurance mountain biking event’s designated T-shirt.
