I rode the White Rock Enduro (Arkansas). For those unfamiliar with the WRE it is comprised of tight woods, rocks, hills, rocks, tight woods, hills, rocks, creeks and on and on. It was the usual beat up crappy rocky 8 mile transfer to the first test. The first test was hilly & had a lot of tight, new trail full of saplings to plow through. It wasn't that long but it was full of stuff that made me glad I didn't ride my 300 and I had the Varg. A setup ReKluse in a well jetted E start 300 KTM would be good also but my 2006 300 with a manual clutch and a kicker would have had me worn-out and calling it a day after the first test. The Varg shined in the tight, technical stuff with such a "No Drama" motor. I was 16 miles into the ride and down to 50% battery at the start of Test 2. Test 2 was only 3 miles but had a mile long tight, steep rocky hill climb that again, the Varg excelled in. So smooth and responsive with power always "right there" to get me through the nasties. Test 2 also had a show stopper ledge. When I got to it a YZ was struggling on roots before the ledge. Riders before had dug at the base leaving a hole filled with roots at the base of the ledge. So nice! There were about four riders on the ground trying to recover from failing on the climb. I had to stop for the YZ which killed my momentum. He got over the ledge and I took off with about a 2 foot run at it. I got the front wheel over the ledge and one rider pulled the front end while I pushed the rest of the Varg up and over. I think that was the worst part of the Varg: Dealing with the weight in something like that. Those climbs sucked power and I was down to 30% at the start of Test 3. I had covered 23 miles. Test three was more open but still had some serious hills. I was down to 20% at the end of Test 3 (27 miles) and 19% by the time I hit 31 miles. Just enough to limp back to camp. I missed test four (Grass track) and the rest but I learned much about the Varg in the woods.
