Today was rider arrival day for the Yeti Trans NZ Enduro, we thought we’d check out the pits as riders arrived and see what the essential items are for both the race organisers and for the competitors!

A tent with shiny Shimano things inside……

Rider jersey’s for each and every rider

Beers in a chilli bin, definitely need beers!

Race crew jersey’s so you know where to aim all those urgent questions “Where’s the beer?”

Every race needs a cute dog

Dumped stuff, many riders just flew in today

Of course you need a good mountain

The very essential, essentials for first timers

Every serious enduro’er needs one of these, right?

When your mate fills out your entry form….

Colour code everything!

EVERYTHING

New brake discs?

Some damn fine suspension

A packed out race briefing, looking to be an awesome race!
