Capitol Forest Enduro

 

 

Are you ready for the first annual Diamondback Capitol Forest Enduro, if not stop in and we will help you out! 

 

It will be happening on September 15, 2012.

 

The Enduro format is wildly popular in Europe and quickly gaining momentum here in the U.S. Located just outside of Olympia, Washington, Capitol Forest is a prime location for an Enduro event.

 

From the 3 timed “special stages” with over 4100’ of descent, to the non-timed transition/climbing stages, the varied terrain, casual climbs and long, single-track descents of Capitol Forest provide the right mix of competition and comaraderie for one epic day on two wheels.

Get your ride on and have fun!
