Enduro race in Baan Thi บ้านธิ

[MastaMax]

As there is some interest in the local enduro races, here is a short summary of last month's race in Baan Thi (Lamphun).

This was a small local race, only 1 day racing. 1 25km stage in woods and rocks, and 2 stages on a cyclecross/enduro track.

7 of us entered the race: Alex, One, Bird and me in the open class and Arm, Kong and Ton in the supercup class.

First stage was a very nice tight woods and long boulder trail. Unluckily no pictures from the stage.

Then 2 stages on track. Some pictures of our team:












Finished 2nd half a minute behind first (my friend Bird) in the open class:

The endurocross track was awesome but I'm still pissed off about -

-Official mistakenly pointing me (and tons of other competitors) off to do an additional lap at the end of stage 1 (wasted 8 minutes that would have put me in 3rd or 4th place)
-Truly ridiculous cheating on stage 1 by guys cutting off huge parts of the trail - how does a barely modified underbone bike end up first overall?
