I don't know if i'd survive an enduro up in the Northern Hemisphere..
It was a 12 hour race and laps were about 11 miles. My teammate and I prerode the night before and turned in lap times of about 1 hour 15 minutes at conversation pace.

Right before the start of the race, we received a bit of rain and the course instantly turned to peanut butter mud. Stuck to everything. Chain suck was the least of your probelms. The mud would stick to your tires and was so thick when it passed the fork it would just bunch up. You had to stop every 10 feet and clear the mud as your tires wouldn't roll anymore.


The overall goal of the race was most amount of laps and fastest time for those that tied laps.

Here's a little taste of the "race" conditions.
