Central XC Rnd 5, Daniel Edmonds, 1180 Castle Hill Road, Sun 29th April 2018 Results It was drizzling pretty much all day so it was lucky that the pits and the chicane were all in the holding pens under a nice big roof. There was also a radio that we took full advantage of. They […]

2018 SI Champs results Sunday was the same venue as Saturday. We got out there with no problems and had time for a practice before riders briefing. At riders briefing it was decided that Intermediate, Presidents, & Clubman would do four laps of ten sections as we had had heaps of time left over on […]

I went down with Mark Sidebotham on the Friday before the event. We stayed with some friends (Juliette Fox and Halfdan Hansen of Jens Hansen Jewellry) of his in Mapua (46 Tahi Street). This is just out of Nelson and about 30 minutes from the event. On the way to the trial on Saturday morning […]

15th April 2018, Opawe Road, Pohongina Results For once Mum and Dad had the weekend free and so were able to come out to the trial. Mum to “ride” and Dad to sleep. It’s probably the last time we’ll be having a trial on this property as the farmer is fencing off the creek. Adrian […]

14th April 2018, Moonshine #1 Results This is my first time riding an event as a Senior. I’ve ridden a couple of other Enduros before but they were on a trials bike and that is quite different from riding the KDX. I can’t sit down on the Beta, obviously, and when you’re getting tired sitting […]

8th April, Mt Bruce Results Apparently it had been raining all Saturday but on Sunday the weather was great. The only sign that it had been raining were a couple of bogs. There were a couple of marshals beside the worst one all morning with a spade, making sure that it didn’t get too hard […]

25th March, 2018, Mt Erin, Middle Road, Havelock Nth, Hawkes Bay Results We stayed at Blair & Susan Hislops place on Saturday night. On Sunday morning he made us poached eggs for breakfast. Last year at this property you could hardly walk without falling over, let alone ride up banks and rocks. This year, thankfully, […]

24th March, 2018, Dartmoor Road, Puketapu, Hawkes Bay Results We left home at 5:30 in the morning to get to the trial with plenty of time to sign on, get changed, and have a warm-up on the bike. I didn’t ride around with anyone in particular but, for the first lap, I tagged along with […]
