LITTLE BROWN JUG RACE REPORT Once again the Greenville Enduro Riders put on a stellar event with the LIttle Brown Jug Enduro. The conditions in the Upstate region of South Carolina were epic with minimal dust and great traction. The weather was the talk of the pits with the hottest part of the day being in the high 70s. What more could you ask for? The first test of the day was a long one, about 15 miles. I personally prefer to start
with a short test, in order to get loosened up and get the flow of the trail, but GERA had other plans. The first test featured some flowy field sections, tight off-camber woods, a few creek crossings and even a few, small, rock gardens. After the first test the riders went back to teh pits for “lunch” before heading back out for the final four tests. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a little odd going back to the
FLORIDA TRAIL RIDERS
truck so early. I am used to the 3 tests, lunch, and then back out for 3 more. However, after that 15 miler I wasn’t complaining. Test 2 was a more traditional 7 miles. This test featured some tight pine sections as well as some challenging hills through tight woods. The club did a great job of providing ample passing opportunities allowing for faster, and slower, riders to lose less time.
