The dirtbike-traxs team were once again at the Butts quarry mx track in Derbyshire for there annual xmas hare scramble, which was to form the final round of the National Putoline winter hare scramble championship. With as many changes as you can put into a small circuit the dirtbike -traxs team had a good blend of the mx track surrounding woodland and the loop around the quarry, the log and rock section which the dirtbike-traxs team constructed some years ago and still provides a challenge and spectator point before the riders go through lap scoring.

Simon succeeds at Somerley Sundays spent at home this time of year can be difficult at best. The kids are busy studying TV adverts for anything new to be added to Santa's list. Preparations are being made with military precision so that everyone knows who's spending Christmas with whom, and don't forget Boxing Day as that usually involves a change of venue. The credit-card is already maxed-out but the list of things left to buy seems to be growing instead of shrinking, making me wonder whether it's possible to single handedly change the fortunes of a global economic slow-down. Thank heavens for Enduros. Details

“BABOONS” LESOTHO SUN ROOF OF AFRICA - 27 to 29 November 2008 – Lesotho Rocks, valleys, hill-climbs and steep down-hills tested concentration, strength and fitness for every man and machine competing in the 2008 Baboons Lesotho Sun Roof of Africa. With only 89 of the original 300 competitors finishing at the Roma Trading Post today (Saturday 29 November 2008) it is obvious that the 41st running of the race have been the toughest ever. New Zealand Enduro star, Chris Birch, riding for The Roost KTM Team on a standard 300cc machine gave everyone a riding lesson and indirectly challenged the Southern African riders to up their sport to a new level when he beat second placed Mr Price Red Yamaha’s Jade Gutzeit by a massive 48 minutes and 37 seconds.
