Saturday’s second edition of Poseka FunEnduro in Bike park Poseka which was opened in Ravne na Koroškem, Slovenia a year ago was the fifth SloEnduro 4Fun event of the season.
67 riders from Austria, Croatia and Italy put on their number plates for the occassion. The younger categories and women were also well represented.
The organizers from ZKŠTM Ravne na Koroškem and Ravne cycling club prepared both park runs for the race, the Šnel Pepi and the Enduro Bavči. Participants did two timed runs on each. Along with one morning training run on each of the trails the elevation total of the day got close to 1000 meters. The U15 category only did one timed run on each track.
