Up, down and around with URA's o o Frosty Cactus o o o o o o o enduro By Dale Brow n RANDSBURG, CA,JAN. 8 Taking advantage of near-perfect riding conditions, nearly 675 riders competed in the United Racing Association's Frosty Cactus ' family enduro, held near Hwy. 395 and Government Peak. The first loop, which ran 18.6 miles, was relatively interesting for a family enduro first loop. The second loop was challenging: Up , down and rocky . The first riders left the start at 8:01 a .m. , the last ones on the 96th minute. The first loop snaked and twisted to the three-mile speedo check, then straightened out as it headed for a small hill. The hill was big enough to hide a check crew , and sure enough, there was one right past the crest, at 4.4 miles . It was the tie -breaker. Continuing along on the dust- free course, there were a few rollers , some fireroad, and more snaking through the puckerbushes. Marking wasn't really necessary unless you were on the first few minutes; the rest of us just followed the brown line of wet sand. After what seemed like an eternity without a check, riders found one in a sandwash fa irly well hidden by the puckerbushes near the 15-mile point. Crossing the Randsburg-Mojave Road near camp, the course took a fireroad away from the camp and then doubled back. The finish check was unknown . but according to the rider's instru ctions, not over 21 m iles. Just past the 18-mile mark. when riders figured that th e next check had to be the finish ch eck , there it was.
