By Jim Bowman GEO RGETOWN, CA, MAY 14 Josh Chandler and Christopher John P into won the overall B and C titles, respectively, at the District 36 Fools Gold Enduro. While Mark Lucas has been credited with th e overall win, a problem during the event is the su bject of much debate. A protest has been received and it is unclear who will finall y be cred ited with the overall win. The problem centers around a new trai l cut by a few top-level A riders during th e event. These riders ran ov er so me manzanita bushes a nd cu t a trail that ended up on a different sectio n of th e course. The new trail crea ted a lot of confusion as later riders had abo u t a SO/SO cha nc e of choosing the righ t trail. Fortunately,Walt Menge from th e hosting California Enduro Riders Associ ation made it to th e new turn a nd m arked it befor e th e B and C riders a rr ived . The protest ask s that a ll th e chec ks a fter th e area in questi on be th rown o u t o f th e sco ri ng fo r th e A riders. Certai n ly, th e co m pe titio n was a bso lur ely fai r u p to this po int , but riders wh o mad e th e righ t direct ion choice want to be credi ted j ust ly for their wh ol e ride.
