How does OCCR prepare for their “Scrub Pine Enduro”?
We at OCCR take pride in our accomplishment of being the 8-TIME enduro of the year winner, having arguably the best sand-run ever held in central New Jersey. In order to have a successful enduro, we need to keep fire-cuts clean and maintain existing trails.
I don’t really want to race right away. Does the club have people that I can just ride with on Sundays?
Yes, you can usually find people to ride (practice) with every Sunday of the year (excluding days of popular enduros or hare scrambles, and sometimes extreme weather conditions). A few members also get together other days of the week to practice (for those who work Sundays). Only licensed, registered, and insured vehicles are permitted in NJ State Forests.
What do I need to bring with me to the meeting?
No need to bring anything other than yourself and maybe a pen (for filling out forms – i.e. OCCR application, ECEA test [both available from our website], and enduro entry forms, if you choose to do so).
What events does the club sponsor during the year?
OCCR holds our Scrub Pine Enduro in Brendan T. Byrne State Forest located in Manchester, Pemberton, and Woodland Townships.
