Have a hankering for an enduro bike and started looking on Enduro News for bikes. Having a look around the site and up popped the first round of the ACU Xtreme Championship in Tong, a whole 20mins from home.
First time at an event like this, most of the racing I've watched live is track, but what a great day it was. £10 in, mud up to your eye balls and a huge mix of riders from the pros (Graham Jarvis/Billy Bolt/Paul Bolton) to the amateurs risking life and limb for a couple of laps of Tong Off Road Centre. The level of commitment these guys had was great, and the crowd involvement was top notch too with people dragging riders up the steep stuff.
I'll let the photos do the talking, but I'd highly recommend a trip out to watch these guys racing - other photos in here: https://imgur.com/a/RxFdG
