Every year the best and/or craziest Motocross riders congregate in an Austrian quarry to take part in the granddaddy of Hard Enduro – it’s the race that makes all the rest seem rather less hard. Last year Graham Jarvis was named champion with only 13 other riders finishing behind him – just 3% of the 500 man starting field.
The quarry, nicknamed the Iron Giant, is based in Erzberg and begins with a huge mass start that almost always descends into chaos. Riders must then tackle 32km of steep climbs, loose ground and a huge rock fields called Carl’s Diner and the Devil’s Kitchen.
