Three years ago the Pocono Bike Club reached out to George Ulmer to ask about the possibility of hosting an Enduro race on their local trails, since then Glen Park has grown to become a favorite among Maxxis ESC riders. You'd be hard pressed to find a more fun variety of trails on a 500' vertical piece of hill, this place has it all from fast flowing double track, a rock garden more gnarly than some DH courses and plenty of opportunities to get your wheels off the ground. Add in its central location, warm weather, Enduro World Series qualifying points and it's no wonder this venue draws riders from as far away as Canada and Kentucky.
The Maxxis ESC team and the Pocono Bike Club have outdone themselves yet again this year, putting together six stages all with their own quirks. The trails at "The Glen" aren't particularly long and with some classes reaching 50+ racers times are always tight here, so you've got to be 100% focused and ready to go flat out all day if you want to be on the podium.
Pro PodiumsSigning off from the Poconos, thank you all for coming out to enjoy the perfect weather and trails as a community. We'll see you at the first Box Components Showdown of 2019 at Thunder Mountain, MA June 2nd where the Maxxis ESC team will bring you both Downhill and Enduro races. Thunder is another crowd favorite so be sure to register before these events sell out!
