How does a typical CEC event transpire?
Each CEC will have three special tests. They are Cross (CT), Extreme (XT) and Enduro (ET) that are connected by trails, the entire course may be ridden 2, 3 or 4 laps per day at the discretion of the event organizer. The number of laps may vary depending on actual trail and weather conditions, there will be average speeds established by the time schedule that cannot be exceeded. These average speeds are dictated for safety reasons. Generally speaking, the average speed needed to stay on the schedule is very low. This means riders will have plenty of time to complete each lap of the course and still have time to rest, fuel up at the end of each lap. In Canada there is a wide spectrum of rider abilities, considering this one can expect the pace needed to stay on time will be very easy for Pro riders and less so but certainly attainable for Amateurs.
