| Heading to Santa Cruz |
The Santa Cruz Super Enduro was the finale of the California Enduro Series and was a great way to wrap up an awesome season of Enduro racing! Located in the Redwoods of the Soquel Demonstration Forest racers had access to free camping and amenities at Camp Loma. There was also an expo area, and bike demos were available on Sunday from Trek, Intense, Marin, Santa Cruz, and Juliana Bicycles.

The Santa Cruz Super Enduro consisted of four stages with Juniors/Beginners only racing the first three. Stage 1 was Corral Trail and started with fast singletrack which turned to fireroad with many fun side features and some drops. Stage 2 was Braille Trail the most technical and my favorite stage of the day, it was fast with some steep pitches and a lot of roots.

After Stage 2 racers climbed Tractor Trail to Stage 3 which was Sawpit Trail, Sawpit had a bit of everything with fast open sections, technical rock gardens, and a bit of bleed from your eyeballs sprints. After Stage 3 Junior and Beginner racers headed back to Camp Loma and everyone else climbed up once more for Stage 4 the new Flow Trail in the Demo Forest. I finished 9th in Junior Open at the Santa Cruz Super Enduro and claimed 4th place overall in the California Enduro Series Junior Men Open.

I had a lot of fun racing my first season of Enduro and I am super stoked to make it on the overall podium next to some of the fastest Junior racers in the sport. Kudos to everyone who participated in this event!
