Ride Log - / strava
My very first enduro race was at Laggan Wolftrax back in 2018, so when I seen that Tweedlove managed to get it going again, I booked my spot.
I love this place, and I know the trail centre side quite well, so I thought I could be fairly competitive.
I could have justified using my Claymore enduro bike for this, but I opted to take the Highlander trail bike instead. My thought process being that for the pedaling sections, the Highlander would be better, and there were a few pedaling sections to be fair.
I don't know if I would have been quicker on the Claymore, but I am happy with getting 19th out of 96 entrants in my class. The top 8 roughly being pro level riders.
Annoyingly, I know I could have went better and gotten clearer run had I chosen to have been a seeded rider. This means that I'll have to do another race or two to see if I can improve.

Great effort, esp last stage. The brown Side looked tricky, and massive speed increase when you hit the trial side. We headed over to Newtonmore from our home in Aberdeenshire on Friday in our van and wild camped, I had big plans for a day at Laggan then saw on FB there was enduro on😅… change of plan… found some great trails on hill just above Newtonmore and Nevis range forest on Sunday, drove past you lot on Saturday 😂
