Looking at yesterdays results:
Fastest elite male would`ve been 2nd in Vets or 4th in Masters.
Fastest senior would`ve been no better!
Enduro, its OBVIOUSLY an old man`s sport.
Also Helen Gaskill 1st female elite would`ve been 4th in MALE elite, well done.

Spelling and punctuation too good.

Has Singletrack pulled it's sponsorship? There was no mention on the web and no sign of them at the race.
Race was great, good mixture of tracks and good long stages.
Link?
You would probably have a lot of the better riders travelling back from mega avalanche or racing in the mountain of hell race.
There were plenty there who'd done the Mega.
sorry to say that the course was way too difficult for me, so gave myself a big fat DNS.
there were lots of positive comments from those that did race, it seems i'm just crap.
Where did you see the results ? I have been checking roots and rain and race timing systems.
The courses were about at the edge of my skill limit, but had a great time !
i haven't seen any results posted anywhere, i know i'm a DNS because i Did Not Start...
i tried to ride the course on Friday, but spent most of my time either upside-down, on my face, or hugging trees.
when the rain started falling, i made the easiest decision of my life.
Well, I found some of it was a bit better in the wet, Cresta certainly seemed grippier and rode better on saturday I thought than friday well I did anyway, or perhaps it was the pressure of the race.
Mind you I got seeded at the front just behind the elite women and the juniors, which meant I got a clear track ! Which was nice...
Thought it was a cracking days racing, with great stages. End of stage 4 was a bit sketchy, but good fun. Weather didn't really spoil it to be honest.
Aye, when it rained the bloody flies went away ! I am sure they made me rider faster too.
Yeah, the midges were out in force at times. Suprised they could find any flesh under all the mud!
Well having sussed out all of the sneaky lines I then went and crashed on those stages losing all of the gained time and more, I suppose it's Karma - ha!
Well done to everyone who raced.
Out of interest, did it use the same routes that the previous Enduros have been using at Inners this year or are there now more new ones?
Great event and excellent course. Nice long stages with just the right amount of technical riding for an enduro. Agree that Cresta rode better on saturday. Stage 4 was a bit sketchy but great fun. Rain didn't spoil it at all, if anything it made it more intetesting. I came 88th overall, 22nd in vets.
Did anyone go to the rave in the woods on saturday night?

Fabulous event can't wait to do it all again.
Just got back from a week away following this race so forgive the late arrival!
Great race & fantastic stages - lots of climbing, connecting intervals about right and some seriously technical downhilling - a proper "Gravity Enduro" course IMHO. My race was a bit cocked up by a puncture in qualifying but it was still a great weekend.
Am I the only one though that thought the complete lack of "Official Media Sponsor" presence at the event was a bit rubbish. Singletrack haven't really had much of a presence at the first two but seem to have given up completely now!
Yeah, was somewhat lacking in Singletrackness
