Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

 

Hey, some of us were joking about this the other day.  We propose an endurance ride similar to the "gambler's choice" jumping class.  You get a GPS and go ride around until your GPS says you've gone 50 miles, then come back.  The strategy would be in choosing the easiest and most efficient trail (avoid the big hills and deep sand and try not to hit the 50 mile mark when you're 10 miles from camp).  You could also be required to take a number of "pit stops/vet checks" at your choice of time, ala Indy 500.  The ride manager would not need to mark trail.

I also saw the recent discussion on the endurance rides around a 1 mile track.  We in Minnesota have threatened to put on a ride at the Metrodome, the State Fair coliseum, or the Mall of America in the middle of winter.  Just kidding.

You do it from home and your gps records your miles etc and gives it back to the sanctioning body. Membership gets you a tracking/sensors unit (delivered with your member/registration kit) which does all the gate2hold parameter checking and monitors your in/out time; tracks your ride and charges you entry fees:)
