A very damp and sticky track is what the riders had to deal with at the
SEEC Enduro at Canada Heights sponsored by Freestyle Husqvarna, a much more
technical track than usual with a lot more emphasis on the enduro/trials
side albeit some very fast bits as well. Championship Class
Ben Wibberley is most certainly the comeback wizard as with a year out with
an almost bike career ending injury he takes top spot with a solid
performance and two good special test times and just pipped Jack Turner by a
couple of seconds although the fastest test of the day was by 3rd placed Joe
Wootton who had to play catch up after a big mistake in the first special
test. Details - Photos -
