It was awesome... TBH I really recommend these enduro things, no matter how big or small, I've hardly done any that weren't brilliant. I've always felt like XC and downhill racing are basically for the top 10%, everyone else is just making up the numbers and paying the bills. But enduro is much more like the sort of riding loads of us actually want to do- descending as hard as you can on difficult trails, then winching slowly back up. Being in a race just adds a bit of extra challenge and motivation and a sense of event, it's a bit like going for a ride with 300 mates. Actually really a lot like a big motorbike rideout, atmosphere wise, I never thought of that before.
So, that was actually one of my best placings ever, generally I'm at the top of the bottom third and you'd think that'd be frustrating but it's just as cool duking it out with your fellow knobbers. Love it. Next up is Laggan for the 3rd round of the Scottish Enduro Series, in which I expect to be top of the bottom third
