It’s time to get racing again, and this new venue near Dale, TX is purpose built for speed!  

Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop and Texas Ac and Heating are the title sponsors for this event! 

Come out and race on the 8.5 miles of 99% rock-free, fast, flowy single track trail including almost two miles of machine-built flow-trail with some berms big enough they almost count as wall-rides.  The whole trail was designed with going fast in mind with sweeping corners, climbs mindfully spaced apart to allow for recovery in between them, and plenty of room to pass. The trails have multiple spectator locations around the course. You will almost always have an audience!

The trail is one-directional so your risk of on-coming traffic is low, but expect there to be runners, OneWheels, non-racer mountain bikers, e-bikes, and the like, so ride in your limits.

These pre-ride dates are subject to cancellation due to weather, the venue being booked for a private event (they also do weddings and receptions), or if a host/key-holder is not available for some reason. Check the events section of https://www.facebook.com/EnduraRaceLLC to make sure its all good before you drive out to the trail.

FACILITIES: On non-race weekends, there will be only one public restroom available (as long as it has been finished in time – it’s currently under construction), but there are multiple gas-station options on the way in.  On non-race weekends, plan to bring your own water.

CANCELLATION POLICY: The race will be held rain or shine barring a dangerous severe weather scenario at which point, the race director may push start times back to later in the day, or as a last resort, cancel the event.  In the event of a cancellation, the race is insured through BikeReg for such a calamity, but you may wish to purchase your own personal BikeReg insurance in the instance you want to opt out of the race (you get sick, you don’t like mud if it’s muddy, your dog ate your bike shoes, etc.).

FORREST CREEK RANCH RULES: Failure to adhere to these rules may result in your expulsion from the property for the entire race weekend with zero refunds of any kind.

• Always ride with a helmet. If a bicycle is between your legs, a helmet better be on your head!
• Do not harass, interfere with, or otherwise bother the wildlife and exotic animals.
• Absolutely no pets/animals allowed. ADA certified service animals are the sole exception and must always be leashed and under their owner’s control at all times. All other animals need to be left at home/boarded. The property owner has several free-range species of exotic herbivores who are wild-captures and are not domesticated.  Fido and/or Fifi’s presence would cause these delicate animals undo stress and could create a dangerous situation for them and/or your pet.
• No glass containers.
• No public consumption of alcoholic beverages.
• No fires apart from propane grills.
• No smoking/toking at any time on ranch property (but joking is certainly allowed).
•  No modifying any trail, feature, trail routing, or trail marking unless at the direction of the Race Director.
• If you pack it in, please pack it out.
