Circuit and Enduro Races
)
The NABX centers around 3 core race events: Circuit, 50 Mile Enduro and Team Enduro races. That said, conditions often prevent us from running all the races we like. In 2011 we will focus on the circuit racing with race meetings each day to determine the schedule based on current conditions. Know this racers, there will be racing, there will be prizes and some major surprises!Circuit Race:
A 3 point sailing style race. All riders start at once heading toward the designated 1st marker. From there, they will either set a course upwind or downwind (depending on the course conditions) to marker 2. As they round the last marker, all riders return to the start/finish line and round the course again. Each race typically finishes after 3 laps. The combined results of all races determines the winner.
50 Mile Enduro:
Set on a rectangular course, the Enduro is a fast-paced long distance race that tests the limits of riders and their equipment. Riders lap the course at full speed for up to 50 miles or the 2.5 hour time limit. Blowouts, breakdowns and fatigue often reduce the field of competition to a handful of ardent contenders.
Team Enduro:
Based on a combination of the 50 Mile Enduro and a traditional relay race, the Team Enduro pits groups of 2 or more riders against one another in a long distance speed race. Teams may trade out tired riders for fresh ones in accord to their individual strategy. The first team to make 50 miles or the 2.5 hour time limit wins.
