25.01.2022 Repost from our member Grassroots Enduro Australian Series . "Kids these days" Reading through various pages or groups on social media or overhearing a conversation at a bus stop you could be forgiven for thinking the younger generation are all lazy, incompetent and have never done a days work in their life. While this may apply to a small minority of kids it also applies to a small minority of adults.... Recently we had the pleasure of meeting and staying with family who run a farm for a living, one of the kids is into racing dirt bikes and there is no doubt he works for what he has, he was up at 6am helping his dad cooked breakfast for everyone, at 7am and 6 degrees with a wind that cut right through you he had a shovel in his hands moving heavy red soil from the end of 150 ton grain bag getting it ready for transport. His dad didn't need to ask him, he knew what needed to be done so he got stuck in and did it. This young bloke confidently chauffeured us around the property in the Land Cruiser, drives better than most people I suspect, so good in fact he is entrusted to drive the $800,000 headers the family use for cropping. This young mans attitude flows onto his bike riding, riding with him (when I can keep up) I quickly discovered not much stops him and when the going gets tough you will not hear one complaint or moan about it being too hard, this little dynamo has no problem navigating tracks that'll stop many seasoned adult riders. This attitude and determination is something I have personally experienced over and over again within the hard enduro community It was an absolute pleasure to ride with Jesse Ryan and his cousins, the support, guidance & discipline they receive from their family is reflected in their riding ability and attitude on the bike, the future of our sport is strong.

Silver/Expert: Bike numbers 100 to 299 I have ridden hard enduro with my mates and have some racing experience I have a decent level of fitness I love a good challenge and dont mind if I have to bust my hump pushing my bike to get up a hill I will take on whatever lays in front of me without crying, I may swear like a trooper though I need to go to work on Monday Bronze/Clubby: Bike numbers 300 & over Im not sure what class to enter I dont know what to expect Im a confident rider but this will be my first race I normally ride fast flowing single track and some snotty stuff but want to see what this hard enduro is all about *Dont under estimate Bronze, you will be tested, your bike will need a fan but you will finish a lap, this is hard enduro. Now you have registered and have your licence in place you will receive an email containing the Final instructions, the instructions will provide you all the information you require, including the location, race format and schedule (time of each event throughout each day) plus much more. Please read all of the instructions carefully. Preparing for the event: Ensure your bike is well maintained and in good working order, the bars ends must be not be open, this means you must have hand grips with the ends of the grips intact, be using bars ends or hand guards that fill the ends of the bars. Front and rear mud guards must be fitted to the bike. You will be sent a self-scrutineering form along with the final instructions, this must be filled out and brought with you to the event. Aside from the bike you should have good riding gear, long sturdy pants, long sleeve top, gloves, helmet, goggles, motorcycle boots and a Zac Speed hydration pack. All helmets must meet the following codes: UN ECE 22.05, Snell M2015, JIS T8133 All Grassroots Enduro races are run over two days, Saturday is prologue day and usually starts around 9am with race day running on Sunday. These times do vary and will be detailed in the final instructions. What you should bring: Bike Riding gear Pit tent Tools Fuel Bike consumables First aid kit Panadol/Nurofen If your prone to blisters strapping tape Chair Food Water Cash for your transponder, cold drinks/food Swag/tent/caravan/motor home (We always have an organisation serving BBQ style food and drinks at our event) When you arrive at the event: You can arrive at the event from Friday 9am on most occasions, sometimes we can allow camping from the Thursday. (This will be detailed in the final instructions) Youll see signs that point you towards the camping area, follow them and go claim your spot. You will be required to sign on before you can race, look for the Grassroots tent and youll some lovely ladies there wholl help you out, at sign on youll be required to show your drivers licence, hand in your self-scrutineering form and leave a $25 refundable cash deposit for the transponder, the transponder records your laps/times and is fitted to your bike using cable ties we supply. We like to make sure the sign-on process is smooth and fast, please make sure you have the correct money so we are not left fumbling around for change and slowing the process down. Sign-on usually starts around 10am on the Friday preceding the race and closes at 4pm, it opens again at 7am Saturday till around 9.30am, again these times will vary and will be detailed in the final instructions. Signing on the Friday ensures any queue is minimal. Saturday: Prologue is a set track of much shorter distance than the full track and is usually much easier than the main track, prologue tracks vary in time/distance at each event. Your fastest prologue lap/time determines your starting position for the race the following day, you can do one lap our as many as you want. The prologue track opens and closes at set times which will be detailed in the final instructions, it usually remains open for around three hours, the above description does vary from event to event slightly. When you are on the prologue track and hear a faster rider approaching move over to let them pass safely, do not jump on the brakes hard, slow down and move other. If you catch a slower rider ensure you pass safely, a good engine rev can warn them of your approach. Juniors and senior riders do not ride at the same time. Race Day: Try to forget your nerves as you are about to have the best fun of your life! Gold class riders always start first, each rider leaves approximately 30secs apart, this time will vary depending on the track and conditions. Silver riders leave next with the top 20 leaving at 30sec intervals, followed by two riders at time, increasing to five at a time. Bronze riders leave in the same fashion as Silver. Junior riders leave in small groups but this depends on the amount of riders and can vary. So you have never hard enduro before? Dont be nervous(HA) The best tip I can give you for race day is, dont race, just ride. Hard enduro can very taxing on the body, ride at a pace that is comfortable for you, better riders will get around you. Like any race youll need to find a pace that is comfortable for you and ride in a way to preserve your machinery also, manage your body and your bike, you are a team and you cannot finish without each other. Remember you wont be on your own out there, there will be plenty of other riders just like you, youll most likely end up helping someone else and they may well help you. Our laps can be long and may take you several hours to complete, ensure you carry enough water in your Zac Speed International hydration pack and maybe even some trail snacks. Dont panic if you cant finish a full lap, you dont need to cross the finish line in order to win, the terrain youll ride and the obstacles youll conquer will ensure youll have many wins throughout the day. We have Sweeps riding the tracks throughout the day to check for broken down riders/bikes, the sweeps will guide you what to do if you cannot continue or run out of time, never under any circumstances ride your bike in the opposite direction. If safe to do so stay with your bike, ask another rider to tell a sweep or official of your race number and your general location and well sort you out. We have professional medical crews at all of our events. Most importantly remember to have fun!

14.01.2022 Update: Round Two of the A.H.E.C Kosciuszko Killer Event April 18 & 19 2020 With the advice from the federal and state governments regarding the situation with... Covid-19 virus we have come to the following decision. We have had discussion after discussion(sleepless nights) on how best to handle the Kosciuszko Killer event, despite the measures we have in place to handle social distancing, sanitation of the amenities as well as excellent measures ensuring no riders came together as a group we deeply believe we can no longer run the event as per the original schedule due to our commitment to social responsibility and safety of the riders. While we could still legally run the event we would be putting riders at risk if they were injured and required hospitalisation, this would also put extra strain on the local area health services at a time when they require all hands on deck. We deeply regret (totally gutted ) the need to postpone the event and will advise you all of the new schedule once the situation becomes less fluid, we had several dates in May and June that are available so if the situation settles down prior to those months we will announce the dates asap. Refunds To help ensure the future of the series we ask riders to please refrain from asking us for refunds at this point in time as we have already spent many thousands of dollars preparing for the event, bearing in mind the event is POSTPONED only, not cancelled, this will give those riders who are injured extra time to recover. Once the new date is locked in we will have a window of opportunity open to refund those who cannot make it under the schedule. Your cooperation is very much appreciated. On a more positive note, the extra time we now have we will pour more energy into ensuring we bring you a world class event. Thank you for your understanding, stay safe and see you all soon.
