Saturday, I raced it (my Gasgas).
We (my club) held our annual national race, Kongsberg Grand National. 162 racers from 5 years up. I presume the oldest was 65.
This was the closing round of NESS (Norwegian Enduro Super Series). How did we come up with that name?
In the main 2 hour race we were 114, I ended at 93 total (18 out of 22 above 50).
After heavy rain for a couple of days, the track was transformed into mud at many places.
Great fun.
Our daughter Nora did her second race ever in the beginner's class. Her first one was in 2011, well before our granddaughter was born. Now, she's five and a half. The beginner's race is one hour long and is run before the rest of us tear up the track too badly. On her '00 RM125 Nora completed two laps, won the beginner's womans class and was very happy.

After weeks of preparation of the track, doing the race administraion and the racing itself, and using the complete Sunday (and tonight) for repairing / cleaning / tearing down tapes and arrows, we are now quite exhausted, and tomorrow will be an enduro-free day. The first in quite a time
In two weeks time we will host the last race of the season, our club race. usually we are approx 50 racers there.
