Welcome to MidwestEnduros.com, created and updated by Ryan Moss. My hopes are to post news about upcoming enduro events, results from each race, and points standings from each series. The series that I try to cover are: AMA District 14, 16, 17, 23 and IERA events. I will try to provide a simple and efficient way of getting the information out to the Midwest Enduro Riders.

I want to help promote your event and to provide information to the riders. So get your information to me and I will get it posted up for you. I can post before / after race information, route sheets, results, etc. Preferred methods are Microsoft Excel, Word, or PDF Files.

Please check out the About Enduros tab to get information about the sport of enduros. Lots of your questions can be answered there.

This was a hard decision, but the upcoming Knuckle Buster Enduro is canceled for THIS year. We lost 6 miles of trail from the upcoming sale of land. With less than 30 miles of trail left we felt that it wouldn't be a true quality Enduro. We are waiting for an answer on more land for next year. We will let you know in the near future if we get this property.

Another great event put on the UP Sandstormers. Great mix of trail from fast and flowing to tight and technical. The last AA / A section was a great mix of mud holes, hills, rocks, etc.

Section 1 Tight woods
Section 2 fast and flowing
Section 3 fast and flowing with a few rocks
Section 4 Rocks and tight woods
Section 5 Woods
Section 6 Mud and rocks

Should be a great event with rain forecasted a few days before and the morning of!

Due to location of the gas trailer for this event, it might not be possible for the trailer to make it back before the last section starts. It is strongly advised for all A, AA, and Pro racers to have another source of fuel to stay at the staging area if you plan on having a gas can on the gas trailer. That way, if the gas trailer doesn’t return in time, you won’t run out of fuel! (We will have a pre-mixed can for emergencies). Please spread the word!

Due to circumstances beyond the Norsemen MC's control the Mora Enduro scheduled for June 18th will be canceled. There is not an alternate date or event in place at this time; that may or may not change. The Norsemen will go through the proper channels in the event that a different date/event is made available. The Norsemen would like to apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused. Thank you!

Greg Nottingham who is the owner of the land where the Muddobbers MC start the Covered Bridge enduro in Matthews, IN has fallen on tough times. Greg was involved in an unfortunate accident and fractured his tibia and fibula. He has had one surgery to stabilize his leg and will have to have at least one more as well as a lengthy hospital stay. He will be off work a projected six months. Greg did not have medical insurance, so as you can imagine the medical bills are mounding up. Greg is the most giving person always doing things for others and is a big supporter of off road events.

The club and I ask if you can help out in way of a donations at his GoFundMe page we would appreciate it.

General FYI about scoring and protest period:

This season I've received more than the usual amount of communications about a riders score being wrong long after the event is over. While most cases the scores did have issues it is long past the protest period that is held at the event. Per the AMA rules once the protest period is over the results are final. What this means is it's the riders responsibility to stay and make sure your score is correct, not bail to get home early and then call, txt, email two days later that you score was wrong and it should be fixed. Yes I know everyone has a long drive and sometimes you just have to leave so if that is the case have a buddy check for you. While it's no fun for you to have a messed up score it's no fun for a rider to think he got X place at the event then when points are posted he got X. And truth be told it's no fun for the Directors of each series to be in the middle of that. So please stay or have your score checked, especially if you are a point’s chaser and want the correct score / points.
