Indiana's huskiest Husky rider and friend to all. Familiar faces Bu t nationals and qualifiers aren't the only events where you see fami liar riders. Each a rea has its regulars the grizzled and not -so-grizzled enduro veterans organizing and still competing in a sport they love, the upand- coming A riders starting to dominate the local events, the masses of Band C riders trying again and again to do better or just to finish , the occasional woman trying to master a tough game, and the eager young hotshoes who don't really know what's ahead .
