It has 5 enduro tracks(stages) within the loop; the trails are often 2 to 4 minutes in length, containing rock gardens, roots, steep sections, jumps, as well as a pedalling section to make it more physical. These races often take 3 hours to complete; this is because the pedal in-between is not time so we can use it as a time to recover and take the pedal &#8220;easy.&#8221; Only the Stages are timed. This past enduro average time was about 19 minutes; that time only includes the trails.
