Just bought a new Specialized Enduro Comp and took it to the Darrington Skills Park to test it and fine tune it. Sing this report to Def Leppard's "Animal".

A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for bikes, great weather comes to town
We are the 2-wheeled ones, on a swift descent
Down Duthie Bike Park runs, or the Galbraith trails,
Trails wait for you!

We got a fever in our blood, whoa, oh
Bikes need your touch, don't need your love, whoa, oh
And we want, and we need, and we lust, Enduro
And we want, and we need, and we lust, Enduro

We descend, trying for fast times,
With a rapid heartbeat, and the switchback climbs
We’re riding in the wind, kicking up the dust
Riding in driving rain, yeah, and the cheap chains rust,
Bikes love it steep!

We got a fever in our blood, whoa, oh
Bikes need your touch, don't need your love, whoa, oh
And we want, and we need, and we lust, Enduro
And we want, and we need, and we lust, Enduro

Ooh! Oh! Send it baby, fly tough
Going to hunt you with my Enduro
Going to make your run real fun

We got a fever in our blood, whoa, oh
Bikes need your touch, don't need your love, whoa, oh
And we want, and we need, and we lust, Enduro
And we want, and we need, and we lust, Enduro

And I want (and I want)
And I need (and I need)
And I lust (and I lust)
Enduro (Enduro)
And I want (take me)
And I need (tame me)
And I lust (make me)
Enduro (your Enduro)
And I want (take me)
And I need (tame me)
And I lust (let me ride your)
Enduro (Enduro)
And I want (I want)
And I need (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I lust
Enduro (Enduro)

The bike was awesome! I just need to add my grips and my favorite seat to it and it will be ready for my climbs and descents.

The blue and black Skills Park trails are clear of branches now and only minor limbs and an inch of frost in spots make traction a bit tricky but the park is running great. The trailforks ride log is here.
