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, 15, 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.

 

Clubs:

 

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.

 

New Enduro Riders:

 

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

District 17 Points:

Are updated through the Little Egypt Enduro.  I still have to do the Overall B points from the Little Egypt enduro though.  Any questions, problems, etc let me know.

Little Egypt Big Dawg Enduro Marion, IL Review:

Well the turnout was low but the trail was good.  Had about an 11 mile loop with 4 test sections and one of them was on new trail.  There was a good mix of open and technical riding and plenty of rocks that caused many flat tires, myself included.  If you skipped this one you missed out on a good event.

Should have full results in a couple days and will post them up.

Top 5 Overall

1st: Jeff Fredette Team Green / Moose / FRP Kawasaki KLX450

2nd: Jase Martin (250A) LEOR Suzuki RM125

4th: Jeff Kuechenmeister (Open A) Team Missouri Mudder

5th: John Ryan (Sen A) Team Hill & Gully Riders / Hall's Cycle Husky 125

Knuckle Buster Enduro Greenville, MI Review:

From everything I've read and heard it was a great event.  

Thanks to Moto-Tally and the hard work of the D14 crew full results are posted: Results

Survey for the Knuckle Buster is posted as well: Survey

White Trash M/C Baby Bear Family Enduro Update:

Baby Bear update from the layout crew:

- More woods, less field transfer sections compared to last year.

- New trail sections added that will be "big fun" for riders of all levels!

- The big downhill in the last year's first section has been rerouted so the little kids won't have to ride it (but the big kids will!).

This event has access to some awesome single-track trail, all on private land, and last year even had a barn to ride through!

Remember, the Bent Wheels Enduro is the next day in nearby Rose City. If your family and kids are looking for something to do on Sunday while you ride, Hinchman Acres Resort in Mio offers great canoe and kayak trips down the AuSable River and through the scenic Huron National Forest.

2010 Hill and Gully Summer Bummer Enduro Roselawn, IN Video:

Got some leaves on the camera since it was so grown up but they typically were only stuck to the camera for a minute or so.  Also you can see me try to pass my buddy Paul in Section 4 Part 3 but it didn't go as planned and we both go down (it's about 3/4 in on the video).

ATTENTION D16 & D23 riders:

Straight Arrows Enduro Riders Duquette Enduro has been postponed:

Got this from the club:

We will NOT be holding the Duquette Enduro this weekend. Our plan is the postpone the Enduro until Sunday, October 17th. We will NOT be holding the MINI this weekend either. It will be postponed until Saturday, October 16th. 

There are some logistical things that we have to do to change the dates and it will cost us some unplanned for dollars but, I don't anticipate any real roadblocks. 

Here are the reasons why we went this way: 
1. The Nemadji got 5 inches of rain in one day last week. This was on top of an already saturated forest. Miscellaneous rains since then kept things from drying out and firming up. 
2. The Nemadji got over 2 additional inches of rain today, with more predicted before the weekend. 
3. Riding with the trails in this condition causes lots of rutting, which implies more maintenance for our club, WRCW and the DNR and leads to generally crappy trails. 
4. The trails are in constant use when the forest is open so, their only recovery opportunity is off-season 
5. It's been wet there pretty much all summer and it had already taken it's toll on the trails. 
6. The Harlis Road (the road to the Gas Stop) will remain closed this weekend due to the wet conditions. 
7. The DNR has chosen to close the forest due to the wet conditions. This was at least partially per my request. 
8. Douglas County recommended that we not hold the event this weekend due to the conditions. 
9. Having some more time before the event will allow us to reroute a couple of trail segments that have been historically wet and rutted before this year's Enduro. 

I'm sorry if this change has had an adverse effect on your plans for the weekend. 

Don't forget to pass the word if you get the chance.

Hill & Gully Summer Bummer Enduro Review:

Well it was hot, wouldn't be Roselawn if was cool would it.  Saturday the trail was great and the Bares were out.  Sunday had a great mix of trail from open to almost riding in a tunnel.  Again the Bares were out in the last section and from what I hear they distracted a few riders while marking on their scorecards.

I got all the event on helmet cam but I won't have it posted till next week due to my work schedule this week.

General AMA News for Clubs / Parents of Minors:

Some of you may or may not know but anyone under 18 must sign a release to not only participate in the event but to enter the pits area as well (this is my understanding).  And those waviers are supposed to be signed by both parents.  The below links are for information on this and to an annual release for minors and to a one time release.  For more information on this please contac the AMA.

Huge Government problem:

As some of you are aware the Consumer Product Safety Commission passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and it has basically put an end to children under 12 having the right to ride OHV's / ORV's.  I tried to gather the best links to give you info on the act and how to help get a temporary exclusions for the snowmobile, ATV, and off-highway motorcycle industry.

Please don't just blow this off.  It this Act stays intact as is motorcycling has a dim future!
