Sell it to me!
i’ll try…
enduro racing sits in the obvious gap between downhill racing, and xc racing.
You don’t need a dedicated bike; a downhill bike will get you round, it might even be the best choice for you. an xc race bike will get you round, it might even be the best choice for you.
It’s open to all, but the fast lads will still need to work for it.
unless you’re an expert Dh or Xc racer, this is only arena in which you can race against some of the best riders in the world on terrain that you’re comfortable with.
as for the cost; the entry fee will pay for itself in the beer / fags / takeaways / taxis you cut back on as part of your training.
