Sun Valley, Idaho - The Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival presented by SCOTT Sports announces the Sun Valley Shimano Super Enduro. Four All Mountain stages on Bald Mountain with over 11,000 vertical feet of descending and a pumptrack stage await riders in the land of flowy singletrack. Registration for the Sun Valley Shimano Super Enduro opens at 8 p.m. MST Wednesday February 13, 2013 and will be capped at 250 racers.
Registration can be found at: ridesunvalleysuperenduro.athlete360.com
With a $5,000 purse for the Pro Open Category, the Sun Valley Shimano Super Enduro offers four different fast yet pedaly downhill stages and one bike park stage for riders to test their skill and ability to keep the throttle wide open. “This style of racing suits Sun Valley perfectly. The trails are fast and ripping and more about speed and flow than sheer technical skill which makes it possible for all levels of riders to compete and have a blast,” said event director, Greg Randolph.
“SCOTT has been on board with Ride Sun Valley since the inception of the festival,” added Adrian Montgomery, Marketing/PR Director for SCOTT Bicycles. “I’m happy to see our hometown festival include new disciplines of cycling that are in line with what the market is looking for. After two consecutive years of hosting the USAC XC Nats the event is now on the map as well as many cyclists ‘bucket list’. Embracing the Enduro crowd is one step closer to having one of the nations best bike festivals.”
Recently named as an IMBA Epic Ride Center, Sun Valley is truly one of the nation’s mountain bike meccas.
Ride Sun Valley will also play host to the USA Cycling Marathon Mountain Bike National Championship in 2013-2014.
