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
