The National Ultra Endurance season kicked off this past weekend on a muddy course in East Tennessee. NoTubes rider Dejay Birtch brought home the win in the SS class with a time of 7:46:34. Dejay has been on our 29er rims and running the sealant for several years now and continues to excel. Fuzzy John Mylne is also running ZTR 29er rims this year and rolled in 7th in the single speed class.
On the geared side longtime NoTubes rider Evan Plews made the rare trip east of the Mississippi and managed to make the podium in 3rd place. Other NoTubes riders joining him in the top 10 were Harlan Price in 6th and Michael Simonson in 9th place.
Dejay, Fuzzy, Harlan, and Mike were all on ZTR 355 29er rims and Evan rode his full rigid hardtail with a 355 29er up front and 26" Race rim on the back. He was also running Crow tires front and rear. Sealant all around of course.
