I’m ex-Navy myself - Desert Storm era. Started on mountain bikes in college and raced hundred milers on mountain bikes (Shenandoah Mountain 100, Wilderness 101etc.) until just a few years ago. Still racing mountain bike enduros (WVENDURO SERIES) with my son, but definitely not in the shape I was. Planning to do as much of the Virginia Championship Hare Scramble Series as I can and hopefully the Sumter Enduro this year. That hard enduro stuff is very interesting.

You should look up Kairos Resort in Giles County, Virginia. They are doing a hard enduro again this year and Graham Jarvis is going to compete there again and I believe he’s planning another rider instruction day. Very cool stuff! Hoping I can afford to participate. If anyone can make it out here I’d definitely come out and give you the locals only tour. Nice camping there, fun single track, challenging terrain and a beautiful location.

Yeah I was Desert Storm era too (to start). I was also stationed in SoCal and worked in (and raced for) Cyco-path bicycle shop. I've only done one 100 miler MTB race (Mohican MTB 100). Did the Furnace Creek 508 back in '93 and many many many other MTB races. Started running again after a while and was a distance coach for 10 years and did a few marathons and 2 Ironman triathlons. Actually I'm planning on doing Kairos as my season closer.

Heres my MTB training ride from 2 days ago

I’m going down to Blacksburg VA tomorrow so I thought of you. I called kairos to see if I could ride my mtb there for an hour as I drove by. They said $25...... that’s a lil steep for an hours riding.

My only suggestion (based on what helped me so take with a lot of grains of salt) is right before you loft your front wheel you preload the font end and then kind of pull up to start your wheelie. I did that for a long time and never could get it smooth. Then a trials riding buddy had me practive instead of preloading the front end, when you go to loft the front end transition your weight back and down (basically preloading the rear suspension) and then stay on the throttle until you feel the rear wheel crest the log. It feels odd at first. I really need to buy a trials bike to work on some of this stuff, but they are pricey and hard to come by in my neck of the woods.
