Are you ‘winning’ every trailride against your riding posse and thinking it’s about time you entered a real enduro race? Or are you just about to sign up to have a crack at one of Transmoto’s teams-based endurance races – joining more than half the field whose Transmoto 8-Hour hit-out will be the only race they enter all year?

If so, then you’d do well to tune into this sage advice from former AORC Champion, Chris Hollis (these days, a full-time trans-oceanic sailor), as he explains how to develop and translate your riding skills for the different terrain and obstacles you’re likely to encounter in an enduro race.
