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.

Looks like they will have a 50 mile loop for both events. The Dual Sport will have easy outs on some of the course. Reminder that they are using LiveLaps so bring your scoring tag if you have one. If you don't have one they will be available for $10.

Note this year they will only be running "reese's" woods once and have broke it up into two test. This was the technical section last year that wore a lot of riders out. The club is trying hard to make this a technical but fun enduro and this year should be a good one.

Seems that everyone wants Row 30 but it's full already. If you can look at the available rows before signing up and choose an available row that will make things work smoother. There is a small bug with only Row 30 that when you pick it the system is giving out row 1 since row 30 is full already.

Enduro Riders Association Little Bur Enduro (ACES Series) has been cancelled:

For the family enduro they will be using Mototally and sign is open. For the regular enduro they will be using LiveLaps and sign up is open as well. If you have a LiveLaps scoring tag from the Roselawn, IN (or other D17 races) or any ACES events please bring it along to sign up. If you don't have on they will have them available for purchase at sign up. You will need to create a LiveLaps account before signing up (it's free).

We are working on making the event very spectator friendly, with lots of good viewing points that are easily accessable. We would advise good walking/hiking boots as the terrain is rugged.

I have personally ridden sections One and Three, and I hope to get a lap on Section Two this weekend:

- Section One is a great introduction to the terrain. About six miles in length, it’s an awesome trail to provide some good challenges to the riders. Not to be underestimated, it is a great start to the Mad Moose Hard Enduro!

- Section Three is the final loop. It is TOUGH! It’s an 8 mile section where you may want to consider teaming up with someone! It is all rideable, and with having ridden two challenging sections prior to this, it will be a test of not only skill but fitness as well!

We’ve been busy working on the race logistics, too. Given the format and trail layout, we anticipate that it will be a full day of racing! Tentatively, we anticipate the winner crossing the finish line at approximately 5.30pm.

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.
