The VP Components Dirt Club Enduro will be an awesome and exciting test of speed, skill and endurance for mountain bike enthusiasts of all levels.

This event promises to be an exhilarating and rewarding adventure for all.

The race consists of two parts: 12 miles of recently minted, fast-flow singletrack at Moore's Springs Trails followed by a hilly 13 mile road loop that finishes at the top of Hanging Rock Park Rd. Racers will start le mans style, running a short distance to their bikes from the start line at the MST Campground. A short section of paved road precedes the entrance to the singletrack, allowing racers to gun for the holeshot prior to entering the woods.

Marathon – 66 miles. Start 8:00 am
Half Marathon – 44 miles. Start 8:45 am
Cross-country Sport - 30 miles; Cross-country Beginner – 15 miles; Clydesdale Open. Start 9:20 am
Free Warriors Kid’s Race (12 and under) – Start 2:00 pm

Time will be tabulated for the 45 mile first loop & the full 78 mile route. Printable maps & turn-by-turn cue sheets will be available to all riders.

Inspiration

- we love riding our mountain, and we’d like to introduce other experienced riders to it.

- grassroots racing/touring is fun.

- we like to bring new faces to our town.

Philosophy, what’s different?

A self-supported endurance race through mountains, desert, and ocean.

Friday April 27th, 8am
400+ miles
Absolutely, positively NO support.
Starts and ends in Idyllwild, CA @ The Hub Cyclery
SPOT satellite tracker use is mandatory.
GPS navigation is strongly recommended.
Time Limit for the Stagecoach 400 is 5 days.

The first endurance cross race in the Southeast. You can use cyclocross bikes or mountain bikes though the course will favor cross bikes. The course will be mainly gravel roads with some spectator-friendly cyclocross goodies thrown in to distinguish it from a mountain bike or road race. SX2012 is also the last race of the 2011-2012 American UltraCross Championship Series AND the first race of the 2012-2013 series. That means all racers points go towards BOTH seasons series points.
