[QUOTE="GETMETOCA, post: 923164, member: 28996"] Husky2Kawai - sorry we have not responded yet! I'm only three years on a bike as well, and still learning. Basically, an enduro is about TIMEKEEPING. It usually a course that's anywhere from 60-100+ miles with 6 or more hidden checkpoints. You need an odometer and a speedometer and a jart chart at the minimum (or a fancy computer) to keep time. Your goal is to get from checkpoint to checkpoing ON TIME. So burning a check (too fast) is not good, nor is getting there late. The checkpoint people have an official timekeeping clock at each checkpoint and will write down your score. You get more points for burning a check than you do for being late. You goal is to have a score of "0" That's just a basic overview. There's quite a bit more if you really want to get into it, however, as a newer rider, I would just focus on getting through the race. I've found that the biggest difficulty is keeping speed in the more difficult, technical sections. And then again, just getting through the difficult, techinical sections are a challenge in themselves. Most of the family enduro's are less difficult, more fun, and create a feeling of accomplishment. One more thing, if you do not get to any given checkpoint within an hour of your theoretical time, you then "hour out" and must conclude your race at that checkpoint and head back to the pits. A harescramble (I've only raced one) is generally a faster course and you are racing as fast as you can to complete the most laps/loops within a specified timeframe. Usually the races are 1 hour or 2 hours. There is just one checkpoint where barcode scanning is usually used to check each racer as they complete each lap. If you are in a 1 hour harescramble and get finished with your 3rd lap at minute 59, you are allowed to go back out and do another lap. This will put you ahead of any other rider that completed their third lap after the hour point because you got in a 4th lap. Maybe someone else can explain this part better. Also, one more difference is that in enduro's everyone starts on their own "minute" usually 4-5 riders per minute. So every minute that goes by, only 4-5 riders go off the line. Your are keeping time on YOUR minute, and not against every other rider in the race. In a harescramble, its usually everyone starting off at the same time. Sometimes the races are started in funny ways, like a LeMans start, where the riders have to run 20 yards or so to thier bikes, start it, then take off. Hope that helps! maybe some of the others can add some additional comments, this was pretty basic. Best wishes, Natalie [/QUOTE]
