The sport/event has outgrown this venue. Laguna Seca is in many ways an ideal spot to have a mtb get-together, but its geography lacks any proper DH or Enduro trails.
The only part that was "enduro" was kind of the Dh section. Then it was around 3 miles to the next transition on the pavement. Second Stage was fire road then more uphill and an easy single track. Then it was another bunch of climbing to next stage which was more fire road and a tiny bit of single track that was fun. After that we had to climb back out 5 miles on a pretty good pitch back to Sea Otter. The beer at the end was the best part. Sea Otter needs to shuttle racers out next year. Didn't need a six inch travel bike really.
Tahoe needs to develop a competing event.
