Kicking off the first North American round of the 2015 Enduro World Series, Crested Butte Colorado is perhaps the perfect venue, and certainly the epitome of mountain biking. With a population a little shy of 1500 people, the former coal mining town that is often referred to as the "last great Colorado ski town", is an absolute gem. Magnificent scenery and expanses spread out in every direction showcasing some of Colorado's most incredible visual offerings.

This pic certainty doesn't do this section justice: super fast run in leading to a boggy riverbed with a punchy 20m climb out. Carrying speed and line choice is key here, but starting in reverse order means the top pros will be coming through this after 300+ riders!

The 3500m elevation up here is BRUTAL! 33min of race time over two stages. Very fun and challenging trying to ride fast, technical trails blind. Happy with the day overall, no crashes or mechanicals.
