Epic Hard Enduro Race— Commentary GrindingStone Lap 1 2022 A class

Grinding Stone was and still is my favorite race of the US hard enduro series. So much slab rock and challenging lines to try. There was 5.5 hour max time at this race so I was really trying to pace myself. Ended up doing 2 laps and still had an hour left but, because of how they flagged it I couldn’t keep riding and try to make more checks. I felt like I still had a lot of good energy at the end and wished I could have kept going but that’s just the way it played out. Very hard to gauge how much to push vs conserve, always a learning experience at these races. This was my first time in the A class and was 11th of the 40 people in that class and 30th overall of ~207 riders. ________________________________________________________ MY TIRE SETUP FOR GRINDING STONE Rear Tire: https://bit.ly/3artFMQ​ Rear Bib (M19 110/90-19): https://bit.ly/3oLN0xw Bib Bit for mousse drilling: https://bit.ly/3otSAFZ Front Tire: https://bit.ly/3qUIv7o​ Front Bib: https://bit.ly/3oLN0xw​ ________________________________________________________ USED IN THE RACE TB Tow Strap https://bit.ly/3pIOKK1 TB Pad Pack https://bit.ly/2TPlSDN TB Tugger Straps https://bit.ly/3PoZd9P TB Multi Tool https://bit.ly/3qYyg23 _______________________________________________________ 🔶 RIDE DIAMONDS 🔶 Through our stories and products we hope to inspire you to make the most of your rides and go for the hardest trails you can find.
