RACE/CLASS FORMAT – Prologue
The prologue will decide the race order for the Hard Enduro on Sunday. If you do not do the EnduroX you will start behind the riders that have completed it. IE Gold will start after the last Bronze rider that has completed the EnduroX
RACE/CLASS FORMAT – Nutbuster
Classes will be Gold, Silver, Bronze, Ladies & Junior
The Nutbuster is an extreme Enduro, designed to pit man and machine against the elements and by its nature will not be easy, however we have designed the course to be cruel but fair. Choosing the right class for your skill level and fitness is essential for your enjoyment of the event.
Bronze – Competent trail riders. Course difficulty will be similar to an Enduro deviation at a trail ride with some slightly harder sections. A keen attitude, well prepared bike and camelback will make your day easier. Work together with a mate, to get around the course, recommended for the less experienced riders. Ladies will ride this course.
Silver – Competitive and semi-competitive riders. A step up in difficulty and distance from Bronze. Silver riders will require a good level of bike skill and fitness to get to the finish. Must be confident with log crossings, hill climbs and bulldogging on downhills. Experience at previous Enduros will be beneficial but not essential. Some pushing may be required so keep onside with other riders so you can help each other when the going gets tough.
Gold – A separate course designed to test the Country’s best riders. Again, not impossible but definitely difficult. Long hill climbs and extreme downhills.
Junior Riders will be permitted to ride the bronze track with a ‘support rider’. This support rider will be expected to remain with their junior throughout the event at organisers discretion.

Nutbuster Trophy
The Nutbuster trophy and title will be awarded to the winner of Gold.

OVERALL POINTS TROPHY
