If the distance a rider is prepared to travel is a gauge of an event's stature then the fact that World champion David Knight traveled across the Atlantic for this one day event speaks volumes for the importance of the GBXC series.

A hard Hardy's Enduro - 27th May An Enduro is generally tough - not just for the bike, which gets a hard time soaking up the various obstacles - but as you'd expect with a name like Enduro, stamina plays a huge part. Plus, the Southern Counties Enduro Club billed this event as a hard Enduro which gave the impression that the Hardy's Monument circuit near Dorchester, Dorset could be a bit of a toughie. Not only that, there would be a morning and afternoon race with the first away being Championship, Expert and Clubman riders with the Sportsman entrants riding in the afternoon under the scrutuiny of the few top level riders who still had enough energy left to give a spot of tuition. - Report & results
