Buff Creek Enduro was not as bad as having the GoPro Enduro stage on fucking Mayer Gulch a few years back in Eagle.
There are plenty of other trails/trail systems to have Endurbro races. People will get over it. Buffalo Creek just has that weird ass kitty litter dirt, so I get why they are concerned with trail damage.
I love that kitty litter dirt. I remember first figuring it out on Charlie's Cutoff before the reroute - the best way to hit those turns is to put it into a sideways 2 wheeled drift without touching the brakes and just surf the corners. There's almost no other surface that you can do it quite the same way on.Quote:

Tiger is interesting in that it has mountain bike trails actually signed mountain biking trails, hikers allowed but bikers have the right of way.
It makes sense as there are tons of hiker only trails there, too.
Yep, it was just one of the stages, but so many people complained. It won't be coming back as a stage.Quote:

Who would pay to race on an open trail without right of way?
I'm not really a racer... I've raced twice... but I figure I'm paying for an organized closed course with support and timing.
My version.Quote:
