This past summer, art270 was represented in the California Enduro Mountain Bike Series by Ryan Mill who rode for Team art270. The races that took place over two consecutive days in the California mountains proved to be challenging and bone rattling competitions. The first race in June tackled China Peak California, a beautiful ski mountain south of Yosemite National Park in the Sierra National Forest. Race two took place in late August at North Star Ski Resort, near Lake Tahoe, California, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
An enduro race involves riding a mountain bike up a steep mountain trail to the start of the race where you barrel back downhill racing against the clock through boulder fields (affectionately called Rock Gardens) across table tops and around fast, tree root and rock-filled single track paths to reach the finish gate at the bottom. Then you do it all over again, typically five times in a row, riding different routes down the mountain to challenge your riding skills and your endurance. Imagine if you had to ski to the top of a mountain each time you planned to ski back down—with no breather between runs!
Ryan represented art270 well, racing in the Expert Class and finishing injury-free, tired and dirty, but with a smile on his face. Ryan is now training for future races on Mt. Rose California, a 10,000 foot plus mountain just south of Reno, Nevada. Stay tuned for updates as Team art270 strives for a place on the winner’s podium.
