Welcome to MidwestEnduros.com, created and updated by Ryan Moss. My hopes are to post news about upcoming enduro events, results from each race, and points standings from each series. The series that I try to cover are: AMA District 14, 16, 17, 23 and IERA events. I will try to provide a simple and efficient way of getting the information out to the Midwest Enduro Riders.

I want to help promote your event and to provide information to the riders. So get your information to me and I will get it posted up for you. I can post before / after race information, route sheets, results, etc. Preferred methods are Microsoft Excel, Word, or PDF Files.

Please check out the About Enduros tab to get information about the sport of enduros. Lots of your questions can be answered there.

Online signup for the Sand Goblin is closed but you can still sign up at the event. If you are going to sign up at the event please go and create a LiveLaps account, it will make signup a lot easier for the club and faster for you.

The Sand Booger signup shouldn't be mailed at this point. They will have signup the morning of the event so just bring your entry with you or fill out the form they will have onsite.

Looks like it's going to be great weather this weekend for once so don't miss out on the season opener and some great trails.

If you haven't renewed your AMA and District membership b now you really should have. At this point you can still do the AMA and make sure to print your receipt. Same for District 17 if you do the online app. The rest I would hold off and then be that guy holding up the signup line doing what you should have done months ago!

If you missed it you missed an hour worth of bike washing and the need for new brake pads. But really it was a fun old school mudder which wasn't good for helmet cam footage but I did get a couple sections. Seems my helmet cam battery is not holding a great charge anymore so not sure how much footage I'll get this year. Maybe I'll start a gofundme for a new camera:)

Both event flyers are now posted. The Sand Booger has a pre-entry form that can be mailed in.

Sand Goblin pre-entry is still open at LiveLaps.com. You do not have to pre-enter, you can do it day of but pre-enter does save time and saves you $10.

If you do not pre-enter for the Sand Goblin and plan on signing up the day off please create a participant account at LiveLaps. The account is free and this will help the signup crew enter you a lot faster. Don't be that rider holding up the line because you're lazy and don't want to do it ahead of time.

The transponder being used is the "poker" chip style that goes on the front of your bike. The same ones were used at the Geneseo, IL, White City, IL, Leaf River, IL, Goshen, IN enduros. If you have it bring it with you to sign up so it can be programmed with your info. If you don't have one they will have them available for purchase. If you need velco to attach it the club will also have those available.

5 Test Sections:
Test 1: 13 miles
Test 2: 6 miles
Gas (at the start)
Test 3: 11.5 miles
Test 4: 3 miles
Test 5: 10.5 miles

If you haven't renewed your AMA and District membership please do it now. This helps the club out tremendously and speeds up signup. Again don't be that rider holding up the line because you thought it would be easier to do it at the event. The clubs already have put in a ton of time getting the event setup for you to enjoy so get signed up now and make their day a little easier.

Sorry for the late post but I was on vacation when signup opened and we had the glitch. The glitch wasn't on the LiveLaps end it was because we used a PayPal account that wasn't a business account. Once we used the correct PayPal everything was good. I wanted to thank the LiveLaps team and Jeff Fredette for helping out so quickly and getting things resolved. Also a big thanks to my wife for not killing me as I was trying to figure things while at dinner on vacation.

So if you haven't signed up I recommend it so you can get the row you'd like to have.

Signup for the Sand Goblin enduro will go live Monday March 26th at 7:00pm CDT and will close April 16th at Midnight. Sign up will be through LiveLaps and you'll need a participant account, which is free, to sign up. If you've signed up for a National Enduro it's the same format.

Scoring for the Sand Goblin will be done via LiveLaps. We are working on getting pre-entry setup and should have a link posted soon. If you don't have a LiveLaps account please set one up (they are free). LiveLaps Account Creation

If you haven't renewed your AMA and District membership please do it now. This helps the club out tremendously and speeds up signup.

General FYI about scoring and protest period:

This season I've received more than the usual amount of communications about a riders score being wrong long after the event is over. While most cases the scores did have issues it is long past the protest period that is held at the event. Per the AMA rules once the protest period is over the results are final. What this means is it's the riders responsibility to stay and make sure your score is correct, not bail to get home early and then call, txt, email two days later that you score was wrong and it should be fixed. Yes I know everyone has a long drive and sometimes you just have to leave so if that is the case have a buddy check for you. While it's no fun for you to have a messed up score it's no fun for a rider to think he got X place at the event then when points are posted he got X. And truth be told it's no fun for the Directors of each series to be in the middle of that. So please stay or have your score checked, especially if you are a point’s chaser and want the correct score / points.
