My lights won't last the recommended 3 hours, but I can change the batteries in a couple of minutes. This is my first enduro. Will I have time to change my batteries, or should I look for some different lights?

You will have plenty of time in transitions to change batteries. Its only the timed stages that you will need full whack, so knock the beam down to low on the transitions (or turn off and rely on someone elses ๐Ÿ˜† )

We also have USE/Exposure supporting the race, so you can hire lights from them:

OK, thanks. I'll probably stick with what I've got.

Maybe a daft question... is there any requirement for a rear light?

Rear lights annoy the people behind you... so pick a bright one! (or better still, don't)

Hire a MaxxD they are a bargain.
