*** NEW*** Specialized Race within a Race:

Specialized is sponsoring a “timed climb” stage during the Euro Enduro.  This will be an optional (but highly recommended) stage and will not affect your overall enduro time.  The top male and female winners of this stage will receive a gear package from Specialized.  The timed climb section will be the Bridle Path Climb from Fisherman’s to Hyannis, get your legs ready!
