Dirtbike-Traxs had a venue change from the original advertised venue and went to the all woodland track at Helmsley in North Yorkshire for Round 8 of the National Putoline Hare Scramble Championship and with it came a weather change after 7 rounds of reasonable conditions. The track is without question the toughest of XC venues with tight tree sections, long rutted fire breaks and the inevitable tree stump to avoid and it was to get tougher when the conditions took a turn for the worst prior to race day.

Hatcliffe in the Lincolnshire Wolds hosted round four of the rideoffroaduk Doodson Motorsport Championship last Sunday August 8th. With the Lincolnshire weather being at its best, as competitors arrived in this beautiful part of the country they were praising the ride team for unearthing yet another new venue. With perfect camping and access this venue should develop into a great hare & hounds site which will only be used twice per year. Report & Results

Round 8 of the ET James Welsh Enduro Championship
Report Wayne James & photos Bob Mullins

Builth Wells MC's inspired decision to revive their classic open moorland enduro last year on Cwm Owen was recognised this year by it's inclusion in the ET James Welsh Enduro Championship. This helped to attract some top names in the Championship / Expert classes as well as a good entry in the Veteran / Clubman class. The course was a 35 mile figure of eight with two time checks and one special test, all located near the start/ finish area. This made it more enjoyable for the riders pit crews, as there was nearly always a bike to watch around the test. It was a great sight to watch the championship riders going around the grassy test. A good sized entry of just over 80 riders turned up to ride. The weather had been mainly dry on the weeks leading up to the event, which meant the ground was pretty hard and the course was going to be all ride-able. Report & Results

Team Putoline Suzuki by www.fasteddyracing.com rider, Lee Edmondson, has today announced his withdrawal from competitive action for the remainder of the season, after being advised by doctors that his foot injury from last season has still not healed.

Edmondson, who returned from injury in May after breaking his metatarsal bones, finished runner-up only last weekend at the GBXC event on his RM-Z250, but having experienced discomfort with his injury, decided to seek further medical advice.

Lee explained, "I've really enjoyed being back on the bike since my accident last year, but my foot just didn't feel like it was improving so after this weekend's GBXC round I decided to see my consultant. He's taken another look and it seems that three Metatarsal bones are still broken so naturally I need to get this sorted, before I can even think about riding again."

Team manager, Paul Edmondson, commented, "We're all really gutted for Lee. He's ridden well since coming back from that nasty injury and as this weekend proved at the GBXC he's capable of challenging for wins again. However, the injury is bad and he simply can't afford to risk causing more damage, so we're unanimous in the decision for him to sit-out the remainder of the season."

The team will focus on this weekend's round five of the Metzeler British Enduro Championship at Dyf, where Paul Edmondson and Tom Sagar will be flying the Suzuki flag.

Chris said later. "The op went OK. They had to take quite a lot off both cartilages as it was a bit of a mess but it should be fine now. I should be riding again in about 6 weeks"
