I'm still tired, and I didn't even race! We had about 135 riders (wish we would've had more); I don't know how many finished, but we still had 100 riders at the 60 (actual) mile point, where I worked a check. Blair Bersano Overalled, with Mike Keen 2nd, and Mark Hyde 3rd. We had a big surprise -- **** (edit: HA-HA the P/C software won't let me tell you his name!) Burleson showed up; he ran a KTM125, and with NO timekeeping equipment, ended up (if I remember correctly) 4th overall.
Conditions started out dry and (surprisingly) mildly dusty. After about the first third of the race, it started to rain. The middle third of the race seemed pretty good, with light rain falling. By the time they hit the last third of the race (with the tough, er, "fun," stuff), the rain was making conditions pretty interesting. The last B section and the A section challenged them pretty good, I think! Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves, and (for a change) no one complained about the setup, checks, course, terrain, etc, etc that the riders usually whine about. We actually heard quite a few positive comments!
Our club members, enduro chairman (Jack Drummond), and quite a few others really did a tremendous amount of work -- I'm proud to be associated with such a great group of people! They all deserve a great amount of THANKS for all they did!
Thanks to all the riders who came and enjoyed our enduro. We only had one instance of unpolite behavior when one unsportsman-like rider needlessly showered a check point with muddy roost. I'm always amazed at how enduro riders are, for the most part, a really friendly group of riders, even while they're competing! Most said "Thank You" at the checks, and some even had an amusing comment (most rated PG, though!).
Sorry you couldn't make it, hope to ride with you someday!
