MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. – The 70th annual Cowbell Enduro will start and end at the Middle Creek Campground staging area on the Upper Lake Ranger District Saturday, Nov. 5.

The event will begin at 8 a.m. and end around 7 p.m.

The Enduro is a time and distance off-road motorcycle event that will utilize 95 miles of designated OHV routes and roads.

This is an amateur motorcycle event where speed is not the determining factor. This is not a closed course which means that all roads and trails used during the Enduro are open to the public and are subject to two-way traffic.

For this reason forest officials encourage riders that are not part of the event use extreme caution when riding the routes that are being utilized by the event participants. These events are authorized under special use permits.
