Not many venues in the UK could offer an event in the conditions that were in place, and its a testament to Steve Ireland and his team that this event ran without a glitch with all riders parked on hard standing and riding a Tough but thoroughly rideable and in most cases enjoyable, 2.5hr as advertised Enduro event.
Many riders faced up to the challenge and will get a stand out – shout out from Race Boss, Steve’s video/social media report this week.
British Enduro Championship Rider, Alex Ritson Walton was the Stand out adult rider, being the only competitor to complete 10 laps of the “LOG SLOG” Track…Looking very , smooth, quick and effortless (sign of a top rider).
Aaron Wyn Jones on his #41 85cc was the top rider in the Youth race and topped the event Overall with his usual determination and undoubted skills.
Massive thanks as always to ALL of the helpers… (Steve says personally at the moment I need all the help he can get whilst dealing with his gravely ill mother) ..Once again the team stood firm and made a very good , safe event happen..
Land owners, caterers, medics, Doc Ward pics, and all of the riders and racers that came out and made the event happen.
