The Mammoth Bar Enduro — Round 2 of the 2018 California Enduro Series — delivered a massively fun day of racing with the inclusion of the premier black and double black diamond trails at Mammoth Bar OHV park. The June 16th race also featured favorite tracks from last year’s course at the adjacent Auburn State Recreation Area. The course showcased the variety of terrain that the Auburn area has to offer, with timed stages running the gamut from loose and flowy to rocky and technical to lung-burning pedally. Racers needed solid strategies for competing in high temps as they crushed challenging rock gardens, sprinted out of loose corners and took on long arduous transfer climbs under a full sun. Race organizers The Hub and Total Body Fitness feted the 500 competitors with complimentary post-race BBQ lunch, local craft beer and massages, and a number of riders beat the Gold Country heat with a post-ride dip in the river.
