Knight wins muddy Muntjac
28th February

Results - Photos 

The first round of the 2010 Metzler ACU British Enduro Championship turned out to be a tough one for the riders, organisers & spectators. The tail end of the bad weather that had devastated Madiera - a week before - swept across the Bay of Biscay & gave the Thetford forest a thorough soaking. The previous day had been dry & sunny for the riders to walk the test but by 6.00pm the intermittent showers of light drizzle had become heavy rain. Clerk of the Course Andy Waters' biggest concern was the forecast wind. If it exceeded 62 kph. the event would have to be cancelled due to the Forestry's Health & Safety guidelines. He had proposed 4 laps for the Clubman, 5 for the Experts & 6 for the Championship but he was prepared for every contingency. Full Report

Chills & Spills at Chavenage

The 1st round of the 2010 Hewitt National XC Championship got off to a cracking start at Chavenage Farm near Tetbury on Sunday 21st February. Overnight snow had dusted the fields with a light frosting. The sun shone but the air was cold. The Midwest team of Ollie Moyce, Jamie Paget & Tyson Maytom-Jones had organised a training session the day before & their first job on Sunday morning was to chip the frozen mud off their wheels. Despite heavy snow, Craig Reynolds & Lewis Belfield had slogged their way down from the north to ride Midwest for the first time. Report & Results - Postscript - Veteran Expert Gary Baker broke foot in the first hour but he carried on and managed to finish 3rd in his class.
