Looks intense, yet the overweight comedian Ross Noble seems to be doing ok.

When I've looked into it before - believe they have easier and 'expert' routes, so it isn't entirely inaccessible by the 'average man'.

Always irksome when some 22st behmouth floats past me three and a half hours into an enduro, barely a drip of sweat, while I'm panting at the side having a rest!

Would love to be able to do events like the above, but alas, even if I had the time, money and skill, don't think my body could take it Sad.

I don't doubt his ability on two wheels as I've seen a few clips of him before.
This Romanian enduro looks like a case of determination first then skill, and finally fitness. Question

He looks pretty good on that video. Not fast but body position and technical skills look ok.

I want to do events like these in the future. Currently supporting my gf Steph through the British Enduro Sprint Championship so don't get much time to ride myself apart from practice.

You can go along and be a 'marshal' which in some capacities lets you ride good bits of the circuit, but without the cost or completely knackering nature.
Definitely tempted to try that if I have the time, some time - though Id be worried then I'd be spurred on to try and actually enter it, which I think is unrealistic for me Sad.

That looked pretty mental. Even for the non-pro course!
