@oceancountycompetitionriders @ecea_offroad Scrub Pine Enduro. 6th A Vet, 32 Overall. Felt good on the bike. Fitness definitely on point, just ran out of skill in the deep whoops at the end of the day. Awesome course. Always love a 100 mile Enduro and thankful to the club for giving us A riders a third loop.

@kendapowersports sand mad rear tire was awesome

Definitely my preferred tie down method. Load binders from the local hardware store and some chain. Tying down by the pegs is a very secure way to transport the bike and this makes it very simple and quick #enduro by @mabramo799

First ride on the @montesa_trial 301! Getting used to the power of the 4 stroke. The chassis feels awesome. Riding in the rain was a fun challenge by @mabramo799

Another Corduroy dusted. What a weekend it was. First I ended up in the wrong class instead of Vet Expert i ended up in Expert with all the fast kids and then so many other issues during the first day u name it. Broken chain guard , bend sprocket kept loosing the chain probably like 10 times or so bend shifter did not help as well and the most important my power valve on my bike got stuck for most of my day besides that it was pretty awesome day lol. So my feelings were pretty much mixed for day 2. Thankfully bike was working great and after first 3 absolutely fantastic sections I knew that this day will be epic. Probably my top 5 days on the bike ever. No mistakes all day no falls and beating some fast guys on my line in some gnarly sections even got top 35 OV times on one of two section out of 700 guys or so. Green mountain it’s not a joke but that’s what I ride all the time so felt like I was at home. Absolutely fantastic event can’t wait for 2027. Bring it on . by @mabramo799

@_corduroyenduro 2026 - 8th A, 115 OA.

This ma have been my favorite yet. Perfect weather conditions with a bit of moisture in the woods and 60 degree temps. 8AM keytime both days had us up early ready to race. Day 1 and Day 2 were both about 130km (approx 90mi) where usually we have an even longer day 1 but a shorter day 2.

Day 1 trails were familiar but with many changes that slowed down the pace and made the day quite technical. Unlike years past, they were running us late into every test. There's no penalty for being late, you just can't hour out. But with every test we'd be 5 additional minutes late. Gas stops were only enough to keep us 20 minutes late on the day.

I threw my chain once in a creek crossing, found some nice alternate lines around lappers, but also crashed a few times. Nothing serious.

I was back at camp and the bike was at impound before 2pm. Day 1 wrapped me up in 9th A class and somewhere around 105 overall.

Day 2 I was feeling good. The challenge was warming up when it was still 40 degrees out but that quickly resolved itself about 5 minutes into section 1. A poorly chosen hot line had me tucking the bars and YEETING myself to the ground. No injury to me or bike, but 3 energy gels were lost and it took me more time than I'd like to get back into a flow.

Greens Mountain was section 2. Huge rock slabs and technical singletrack is the nature of this section and I love it. Bottlenecks are everywhere and the spectators are there to see it all. At the Cord, how you handle bottlenecks will make or break your race. I found a couple dead ends which had me doing pivot turns to get out. But I also found some choice trials-bike lines that had me sailing through the lappers. 10-15 minutes of this took a lot of my energy. Determined to not repeat the mistakes of last year, I pushed on without taking a breather. Albeit not at the pace I am capable of.

By this time I had realized I made a critical mistake in bike maintenance... My forks were so springy that even turning the rebound all the way in, I couldn't calm down the front. Real attempts to push the pace sent me off trail or over steering corners. I can manage.

@cdr_ecea Beehive Enduro 2026

Perfect conditions. Rode on an AA row for the first time in a long time. Got schooled by Ryan Canavan and the rest of the row. Had a couple annoying crashes that got my bars tangled in vines multiple times. Missed the minute on a check out by 1 second. And my second best test of the day got thrown out! That's how it goes sometimes! Next sand race I'm trying out a scoop tire from @kendapowersports - it's all the rage.

More from @anecracing Rhode Island national by @mabramo799

@anecracing Rhode Island National was crazy. The day started pretty dry with trails that were annoyingly fast (to me) and quickly degenerated into classic northeast slop which I loved. What I did not love is that I lost my front brakes after gas, threw my chain off twice (once while battling a mud hole), and crashed way too many times. I had fun though and I would do it again in a heartbeat
