The dirtbike-traxs crew provided another new venue just north of Helmsley in north Yorkshire known as Ripror rigg - set in countryside made famous by the tv series heartbeat - for the third round of the National Putoline Hare Scramble Championship. A virgin forest with a hard base, the course engineers had worked long and hard cutting a 15 minute course through the trees with winding trails & wide open breaks. Details

European Enduro Championship
Round 1 France

Results

Greetings from Dot Jones on Friday here in France at the first round of the 2009 European enduro Championship at Riom es Montagnes. The name of the town tells you we are up in the Cantal mountains just below the snow line - yes there is lots of the white stuff around- a stiff breeze, more like a gale, is blowing very cold air air across the paddock. Located near to the cattle market some of us feel right at home with the aroma of manure wafting into the work area. Full report TMUk Electraction Report Bradley King's Report Congratulations to Leo Cordingley - the only Veteran to finish both days of this grueling event.

Andrew Edwards wins Snowrun Re-run

Despite it's name, it rarely snows for the Snowrun, This year was an exception & WTRA's popular Clubman enduro was re-scheduled for the 12th April. Clear overnight skies gave the half a dozen hardy souls who camped in the Crychan a frosty awakening but the sun soon warmed the start in the top quarry. Although the entry was full there were quite a few non starters. The schedule was set for 5 laps Championship, 4 laps Experts, 3 laps Clubman & 2 laps Sportsman. Details

Update: Snowrun winner may have had outside assistance - Details

The 2nd round of the GBXC series took place at Baden Hall on Sunday 5th April. The weather was perfect with fluffy clouds in a blue sky. There had been a last minute change of venue from Kent to the Midlands..

Mark Roberts took the holeshot but - despite a serious burn on his forearm - Matt Ridgway led at the end of the first lap. Mark was 2nd & Greg Evans was closing in 3rd. Greg had a disappointing first round & he was fired up to take the lead on lap 3. Report & results

BEC Expert rider Neil Chatham had a disastrous start to the final moto of the first round of the Borders Championship at Duns on Sunday. Racing in the open class on a Suzuki rm 125, Neil was unsighted by the dust & crashed on the 2nd corner. By the time he had restarted, the young Scot was 3rd from last but he working his way up through the pack with some impressive triple jumps to finish 2nd two stroke & 11th overall. It was a closed to club open motocross with Stuart Flockhart, Craig Trew, Ross Rutherford and Jamie Law all on 450's so it was pretty tough on a 125 two stroke.
