Naoussa Endurance Downhill 12 September 2010

Downhill.gr, cycling club Pofyon and Ski Center 3-5 Pigadia proudly present Naoussa Endurance Downhill.
This race will be held at the Ski Center on 3-5 Pigadia near the town of Naoussa in the north of Greece 2 hours away from Salonika. This race is a physically demanding race that needs endurance and stamina from the contestants as to go down the downhill track as more times as possible.
This kind of event excites every kind of rider. It incorporates a really fresh idea which keeps everyones interest alive. Riders as well as spectators will have a great an unique experience being able to enjoy the great restaurant and Cafe.

On ordinary races constestants compete against time. In the Naoussa Endurance Downhill constestants will have to start Le Mans Style, ride their bikes uphill about 1/3 of the lenght of the downhill track and then enter the downhill track. The story from then on is simple - as more descends in 6 hours. The round will be time motocross style. After the clock ticks 6 hours no more rounds will be allowed. The rider with the mosts runs will be the winner. Each descent will be timed with the cumulative descent times counting in cases of equal descents. Team of 4 riders will be formed with the same terms as for each riders.

This event is here to test endurance and reliabilty of each rider. The constestants wil only be allowed one bike. After each descend riders can enter the service area for any repair or replenish fluids.
