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.
