PreViewed the course this AM with Chris26er and Utah. Course is good mix of XC, man made, and natural DH terrain. The transfers between 1-2 and 2-3 are long and steep in sections. I walked a few sections. Going to be great conditions after the rain!

Results are in. http://www.results.crossmgr.com/2014/Mountain Creek Enduro.html
Nice meeting you yesterday finally. Were you also on foot for the final stage? Thought I saw you walking down as I was heading out. After slashing my tire on stage 2, I then killed the tube in triple drop on stage 4. Had to roll through the grass to the end.
That was some tough climbing....3000' in ~11miles...might be the most climbing per mile I have done on a ride. 26er was climbing all of it too but somehow managed to destroy his dr. hanger going uphill.
Good times!

Is this a decent bike for Enduro?
Utah / Squarewheels....
This is my bike.. I rode it at Mtn Creek downhill and it was decent for that... What about using for enduro.. Its 36lbs and kicks my ass in XC trails. Could I get away with competing Enduro with it?
2008 Jamis Parker 1 (considered "all mountain)

For the timed sections it looks fine, riding up the climbs at MC would be tough, but I appeared to be the only shit head who felt like climbing, most people just walked.

I didn't have to walk any of it but i went off course on stage 4 and they let me choose between re-running it or taking a DNF (apparently some people there for DH ripped down the tape at one point and bunch of people went off course) i reran it which was fun. i cleared (read: cased, but close) the step-up at the bottom of the fire road descent for the first time so i was happy about that. definitely a fun event as all enduros seem to be. gonna try to get in 5-6 next season.
Write up/pics from the race.
