To run an event like this it cannot be done with just a couple of weekends of organising . Sean spends months of preparation in planning the track , followed by countless hours with many helpers prepping and organising the whole event .”

BRONZE CLASS WINNER

BEAU TAYLOR

“ After I came 3rd in the team Husqvarna Enduro last year , I was excited to head back and try it again this year . I had originally entered the Silver class with a fellow rider who , unfortunately due to illness , had to pull out at the last minute which left me to do it by myself . I finished first in the Prologue and had the second fastest lap time overall – including the Bronze , Silver and Gold classes . This let me start the first day on the virgin trails . They were three really tough days . On day one I ended up going down a bank which took me and three others about 10 minutes to get our bikes back up . I also had GPS trouble and rode the whole morning with no GPS .
