very interesting, but I am feeling confident
that I can finish off the series with a national
title win.”
Other stand-out riders in the Wairarapa
included Raglan’s Jason Dickey, Helensville’s
Tom Buxton, Palmerston North’s Paul
Whibley, Oparau’s James Scott and Thames
rider Jason Davis.
“Day one was a tough one for the riders
and day two was less so, but they were
both challenging”, said Motorcycling New
Zealand enduro commissioner Justin
Stevenson, of Porirua.
The host clubs, the Bush Riders Motorcycle
Club and the Kapi-Mana Motorcycle club,
and the Ruakokoputuna Hall committee
people too, did a great job to organise
these two events. The terrain was varied
and the tracks were well marked too.
“We had a record number of entries and,
although freedom from the lock-down
probably contributed to that, it still
shows the sport is in a very healthy
state. I’m sure we will see a great
number of riders showing up to race
in the Santoft Forest too.”
