thanks but as clint eastwood said, "a man needs to know his limitations"
I'm 51 and only been riding 2 years. I have the stamina for 90 miles of play riding and have done big days like that, but under time pressure I would be working myself into the ground, and I would be behind the speed averages at a regualr enduro - I would be so trail tired mentally and physcally by 50-60 miles I would be in you guys way. I felt real good at the Moonrocks wild pony that family enduro was slow except for two special test of 24 mph which I did with only 1 minute lost, but the Crasy miner has some 18, 20 and 24 speeds in the trees, that was just beyond my limits. I rode so frigging hard all day to do what i did. Nope the speed and distance of regular enduro are too fast for this newbie, maybe maybe next year.
I aint worried about the technical stuff. I can get thru that. just too much work and speed and distance for me. if you run it, say hello to Kevin Wiley for me if you knpw him. He's an dist 36 enduro A rider and rode on my minute yesterday as a favor to help pace me. He's time keeping saved my *** a couple few times. He zeroed the whole event.
