Every man for himself…
Not forgetting to encourage, chat and tell
Downhill for the win
Uphill for your sins
Redlining it all the way down
Overall best rider takes home the crown

I did my first ever Enduro race this past Sunday, the first round of this series:

Mixed weather but grippy enough conditions…a good amount of ascending…great swoopy singletrack descents weaving through the pine forests and threading between the chunks of sandstone…some amazing flammkueche and a couple of beers…and, last but not least, a very friendly and efficient team of organisers led by Jérôme Clementz. This is mountain biking. 70th out of 200 for me. Rob would have placed very highly indeed but made a navigational error. There should be more to read (and/or maybe some photos) here sometime soon.
