Hinam on a high at 2 Valleys - 22nd August

The fantastic Two Valleys 5.5 mile circuit was in tip top condition for Track n Trail’s second visit this year. Most of the circuit had been regarded and a work party of youth riders had been working hard all week to remove large stones from the course. A few extra jumps had been added to create variation and the course was looking great on Saturday, well the parts you could see through the fog!

Round 6 of the SEEC combine Enduro series was hosted by the RAF Motorsports Association at Slab Common in Hampshire at the weekend.

RAFMA has been active for nearly 50 years and this experience shone through even if the weather didn't. A flowing course at this sandy MOD land with trademark Hard and Easy sections, 2 special tests timed by similar technology to that used at British Championships, a minimum of 4 hours in the saddle for everyone along with the presence of former European champion Daryl Bolter gave the feeling of a national event not just a centre combine round.

 DK in Docklands


Knight time at Docklands

Enduro superstar David Knight and FMX guru Drake Mcelroy spent Monday morning tearing it up at Docklands Riders Track KG5. The pair of Red Bull athletes came down early, one to clear an X-fighters weekend hangover and the other to shake off the aches from a weekend of B.E.C.Bikes and bodies were warmed up on the moto-x track to the amazement of a few Docklands Dirtriders junior and youth club members who were taking notes on how to shred the dusty berms.Coaches Chris Salt and Dylan Evans had their eyes opened to some impressive new lines around the Enduro Cross track as some stylish moves were pulled by both riders over the various obstacles for the Red Bull cameras.

As the riders recovered from the short workout there was plenty of chat of cool places in the World to ride and Track KG5 got a big thumbs up for being such an innovative practice facility in such an urban environment. Drake and David autographed a few shirts and helmets before setting off on classic British bikes across London for some more Red Bull filming on route to the Ace café.Thanks to Red Bull and to David and Drake for being such thoroughly nice guys.

Docklands Riders Extreme Enduro Cross track will re-open after its summer hiatus in September. Keep an eye on the website for Details
