    I've got a decision to make for the Upton round of the NEPG. I've got an 08 WR 250 and a 09 TXC 300. Both are great bikes with their ups and downs. The WR is lighter but harder to ride. The TXC is heavier but easier to ride. Took the TXC on a 50 mile trail ride last weekend and felt fast and I also felt fresh after the ride. It was my first long trail ride on it and was surprised how natural I felt on it. The bike tracked straight as arrow and turned on a dime. I raced the WR all last season and know what to expect. I just felt faster on the TXC. The last section of the Upton race is a ball buster with trees 18"s apart!! Havnt had the TXC in such tight terrain yet and don't know if it will wear me down to quick. Any of you guys have experience with both bikes. Don't have enough time on the TXC to make a decision. I finished 7th in Senior B last year with a stomach virus so i am looking to do a little better.
    Thanks
