In case you were not aware, the Romaniacs Hard Enduro is this weekend.
It is a 5-day race with a nasty Prologue Qualifier. The Prologue includes things like riding through truck tires suspended on ropes, riding up huge plywood obstacles etc.
To call this race hard is like calling the universe "big".
Watch highlights of the 2012 Prologue here:

You can keep up with the race in real-time and watch the recaps from each stage and previous years at the same site. Awesome stuff, esp when you are sitting at a desk and not riding a moto!
2009 was probably my favorite year. For the few guys that made it to the finish line, the last obstacle was riding up the stairs to the top of a 5 story building, then riding (or wheeling) across the roof to the finish line.
My favorite image from today's course:
They call this a "creek crossing", I call it climbing a waterfall.
