What happens when an amateur enduro rider attempts what is arguably the most difficult hard enduro race on Vancouver Island? How does a 4-stroke navigate in 2-stroke territory? Will I give up and get a DNF? Suffering builds character...
The Suffering Hard Enduro is one of a series of races put on by the Vancouver Island Dirt Riders Association and the Vancouver Island Hare Scramble Series. This particular event was held in Shawnigan Lake BC.

It’s inspiring watching you pushing through. love the perseverance. I’m gonna need to challenge myself in a race once I get a bit more miles on this type of terrain 🤟👍

Finally a video of VIHSS. They need more of these to advertise their hard enduro series. Will book a trip from Oregon next year. This year they rescheduled it into thanksgiving weekend and I am at Cancun usually during that holiday.

Have you done any VIHSS races in the past? They do put on some really fun and varied events. Amazing that you would come all the way from Oregon.

@@zordflea It's only 7 hour travel. 5 hour drive and 2 hour ferry. Most events in our area end early

What a slog man! Good on ya for soldiering through it. Nice seeing what the B loop was all about. So different than our up island tracks eh? Imagine when you come ride this again in two years. Thanks for sharing.

The B Loop is definitely a good time for a regular Sunday ride, without the time pressure. Let's ride soon!

Just watched Tom's video before this one. Exciting stuff!

Good Job. To me, the regualar hare scrambles are hard enough. Hopefully race you next year or see you on the trail.

I must say ,,, you guys have giant pairs of hairy gonads for trying that event on those big bikes !!!! 😆 🤣

We've all come from bashing our DRZ bikes through the woods, to having these European weapons. Pretty funny, as we consider our current bikes super amazing. It's hard to not have a plated off road bike.

Just a couple of things; How do you feel about your short legs? And I also felt like I was never going to be competitive in the races, but sticking it out and making deliberate attempts to work on my riding, rather than just going for rides has put me into a decent position. I haven't stood on the top step, but I've been on the podium a few times, and making all the races greatly improves your chances at a good overall score for the season.

I'm trying to take a page out of other skilled, but short, riders. @megs_braap is one great example of a rider I look up to for inspiration. Riding with a 30" inseam often means that I cannot rely on paddling my way out of trouble, but I need to apply a technique in a "do or die" scenario. Jeremy, I've seen you ride sumo and now on the dirt, and you are pretty impressive for someone who doesn't feel overly competitive. As for me, I'll just keep plugging away at things. It'll come together in the end.

@@zordflea Most days I do feel competitive for the class I'm in now. But I spent a lot of years just aiming to not finish last. I had to get serious about the gym just to get anywhere close to the front of the Vet Am class. Now I'm one of the younger guys in Senior Am, and I did pretty well this year. The problem is that there's always new guys that are even younger coming up.
