St. John's Enduro Series

Unfortunately, I never had a picture of John's genius climbing incentive strategy during #sjes2020 where he hung a beer from a stick extending from his helmet so he had something to chase up the hill. But thanks to @noah taylor we have some great shots like this one of the man himself @john Seymour , from that grippy #oceanside rock during #event2 of #sjes2020 Planning has begun for #sjes21... If you or anybody you know wants to be apart of this series this season beyond racing or spectating, please visit our website via the link in our bio and see the get involved tab, or send us a personal message. Many volunteers are needed and the earlier we can get them the better! #stoked #bringiton #sjes21 #oceanside #frmsnl #devincibikes #enduromtb #mtbatlantic #ecmtb

Did your 2020 feel like your feet were off the pedals and there wasn't anything you could do but hope your tires would find the ground before your face did? Your not alone. But like @caleb_pilgrim_ showed us here on #bayline , you can keep your momentum even when nothing seems ( or looks) right. You just got to be focused on what's around the next bend and making sure you make it there. 2021 is here now and it's up to us to push it to it's limit! Eyes ahead to #sjes21 ...

Last night I dreamt about racing mountain bikes. I woke up happy. But then I looked out the window...... Great picture by @amba.nl of Anna Brophy racing during event 2 of #sjes19 By the way @amba.nl and a bunch of deadly volunteers are working every Sunday in white hills to develop new trails. It's crazy how much work gets done on a single Sunday with many hands. Many hands make light work after all. Come out and meet this Sunday at 930 at the overflow parking in white hills. Make some future fun. #sjes19 #dreaming #rainraingoaway #trailbuilding #seeyouthere #frmsnl

The ground isn't frozen yet and the trail builders are hard at work every Sunday making future races flow smooth like hot butter across a skillet. Come out and get your hands dirty this Sunday! See you there.

Lots of great work being done. Please have a read below. The trails need some space to breathe after a heavy traffic season and new trails need to be given the chance to set up. It will be worth the wait.

Inside the mind of the racer there is the trail ahead and not much more. But inside the minds of those two little dudes up on that rock, theres a flood of thoughts inspired by the sounds of the crowd echoing passed, the tires of that bike ripping across the substrate, the not so apparent freedom to enjoy that natural landscape, and hopefully an overwhelming desire to one day be that racer everybody is singing out at. Thanks Larry Penney For coming out and catching these mom...ents in time during #event2 of #sjes2020 Racer: Tadhg Strand

That shaky moment with your adrenaline still pumping as you get that sensor to make that satisfying beep. The following moments are sometimes accompanied by celebratory high fives, "whoops!" , from a fast smooth ride Or maybe even a thud as you hit the ground searching for oxygen after putting yourself and your bike through some punishment. Either way, that's racing..

Thanks Larry for coming out and getting these great shots from event 2 today.

SJES 2020.... so I heard some people talking about 2020 the other day saying they wished to erase it.... Not us. From slip sloppin' on #axemate , ripping down #goldmine with a soundtrack of wind and chainsaws on the West coast, to showing off on #bayline and floating down #U-190 with sounds of the crowd ringing up through the rocks on the East coast. We rose through the difficulty and managed to reach numbers we never thought we would see. 2020, what a year, erase it? No way..... So many thank you's that it may be impossible here, but this whole thing couldn't of happened without every single volunteer, every sponsor, every photographer, every fan out there making noise, and obviously you racers! This picture was taken by Noah Taylor of Andrea Coombs, our female overall series winner and showcases what we have here perfectly. And thank god we are still receiving shipments via oceanex... Looking ahead to #sjes2021 Some major appreciation goes out to Chris Jerrett with Freeride Mountain Sports for the phenomenal prizes for event 2 this season and last. Along with suppliers: @cycleslambert @outdoorgearcanada @santacruzbicycles @cyclesdevinci @tld_bike @yeticycles @ridecncpts Event 1 sponsorship by: @cyclesolutionsnl and @superstreetgang and @fox Our awesome First Aid providers @csp.nlzone and @angietheat In white hills and @boisarnl In Corner Brook. #sjes2020 #thatsawrap #2020isokay #sjes2021 #thankyou

Hey guys, we have had some difficulty getting the format of the results figured out to put on our website. The results are obtained and accurate but the newly updated system was not allowing proper format. We apologize for the inconvenience. The overall standings may need to wait to be uploaded tomorrow. Sorry again but the tangly version of race 2 results are up for your viewing on our site.

Running a little late on the results of today’s race. Should be going live at 7:30 instead of the original time of 7.

Check out this Race Practice Montage made by Chris Jerrett of the passed couple of days! Great shots even better trails!

Who can go fast? Andrew Can.....ning. Too much of a stretch? Good puns are hard to come by lately. But this is a fast man.... @andrew_.canning ripping off the wooden berm on #goldmine DON'T forget tomorrow is last day to receive a refund if you need one for event 2. Your cancellation will make room for others on our waitlist! We would take all y'all if we could but we can't, so if you can't race let us know we will get someone else in there.

TRAIL MARSHALS/VOLUNTEERS STILL WANTED! Looking for volunteers with some knowledge of White Hill’s trail Network to come out on race day and help keep the racers on the race stages and keep walkers off of them. If you or your friends are interested please sign up with our Get Involved page found on this website. Other volunteer positions also available to be filled for those less familiar with White Hills Trails and can also be signed up for on the Get Involved page as we...ll. Link below. https://sjes.ca/get-involved/

So I think we all agree Corner Brook has some amazing smooth trails on some gorguess dirt that can give you speed whether you're ready for it or not. How you handle the speed is what makes or breaks your run on trails like #goldmine. But on this end of 'er, speed needs to be earned on every turn, and it isn't given up easily. Yeah sure you can rip down long way at mach 10 holding on for dear life while your brain rattles inside your skull, but how much of your bike will be ...left at the bottom, if you make it there..White hill's trails test your skill while you test your ability to earn the speed on this techy terrain. Get your bike in order, replace the parts you left knee deep in the mud back on #axemate because Event 2 on White Hills is just around the corner. Ps, don't forget our events (sadly only 2 this season) still belong to a series and overall points are awarded depending on finish places. Overall podium finishers will be calculated and awarded after event 2 on the 27th! Photo credit @amba.nl #stoked #event2 #tech #enduromtb #frmsnl #cyclesolutions #amba
