I raced a round of the local enduro this weekend. First time I've wished the bike was lighter!
Very technical track. 11km loop. I managed an average speed of 18km/hr and a max of 60-something. Rainforest conditions - clay, roots, rocks.. and it rained in the morning too.
I had to man handle her a few times getting in bad places due to some poor line choices... and it took its toll almost instantly. A lighter bike may have been less fatiguing.. perhaps. Better skills would trump it though!
