Just in case, any one of you will be in town during this date, there might be still some available slots, you are free to join and have fun.
This is FREE REGISTRATION!!!
Project Lamma 5 Hours Enduro is certainly the first real mountain bike endurance event held in HK!
The ride:
Riders will ride HK's best single track: Project X on Pak Kok Shan, Lamma Island. COURSE MAP
It's a tough trail designed for mountain biking by Lamma's local riders. The loop is 5 Km long and climbs of 210 meters for each lap. It features some berms, switch backs, drop offs (with chicken runs!), berms, technical downhill, rock gardens, fast curves, steep drops, stairs, and paved paths. We expect every lap to be cleared in 35 minutes on an average. The lap line will be located on a hill's ridge from which riders waiting will be able to monitor the event and enjoy the view.
This area enjoys a stunning scenery on clear days - 360 degrees view on Lantau, HK island and Lamma - great for good photos and videos!
We have incorporated to the course some paved path sections for riders to rest or overtake easily, giving an advantage to less technical riders. The course requests some strategy and some fair play. It's not easy to pass on the single track sections but queuing up for overtaking is also a way to rest (you will need it - trust me).
The categories:
Riders can join within 3 main categories:
Solo - 5 hours on the bike; for the pain junkies, endurance addicts and other adventure racers
Team of 2 Open -
It's a team relay. Each rider rides a lap and is relayed by the other.
Team of 2 Master + 65 -
It's a team relay. Each rider rides a lap and is relayed by the other. The combined age of both riders is above 65 years old.
You can take the ride the way you want!
Riding Solo is a true endurance challenge - the trail is difficult and riding none-stop for 5 hours will be hard on the body. Riding in team is a good strategy to push it really hard for a short period of time, rest, then push it again. It will suit the XC young guns. But riding in a team is also a good way to take it easy and enjoy day out riding on a technical track
!! We would be happy to have a women team entry, or women solo entry !! So please - girls - get in!!!

The Day on Lamma!
Lamma is perfect day out for a day riding with friends or family. The trail is accessible for supporters without disturbing the riders. Riders not taking part of the event can enjoy other challenging trails on Lamma . Families and friends can enjoy Yung Shu Wan's numerous restaurants and shops.
