The China Peak Enduro delivered big mountain fun for the third round of the California Enduro Series (CES) on Saturday, June 25 at China Peak Mountain Resort in Lakeshore.
A racer favorite for its burly, primitive trails and laid-back vibe, this year marked the event’s 10th year with each and every one of those ten races being on the CES schedule. The weather was ideal with relatively cool temps and plenty of cloud cover, while trail conditions were dry, loose and rocky to keep riders on their game.
Depending on their category, riders took on 20-25 miles of riding with 2,500-3,500 feet of elevation gain/loss over the course of the day. Beginner, Sport and Sport eMTB riders raced four timed stages, while Expert, Pro and Open eMTB tackled five. Transfers were a mix of climbing and lift.
