BREAKING NEWS - Red Kite Enduro - July 19th 2009
Click for regs and online entry
A new timecard enduro will take place on July 19th in Halfway Forest, near Llandovery. Organised by the Welsh Trail Riders Association, the Red Kite Enduro will run in a forest not used since the World Round of 1999. A 15 mile lap will incorporate tracks that were established when WTRA first started running on Forestry Commission land in 1974, together with some new going that the club have been able to open up. The start will be in an old quarry area which veteran riders will recognise as the start area for many classic events of the 1970’s and 80’s.
For some years the club have been running the Red Kite Rally on the Eppynt military ranges at Sennybridge which border Halfway Forest. Increasing restrictions on the use of the range have meant that it is no longer possible to put together a lap of suitable distance for a rally and therefore that part of the rally course still available to us will be incorporated into the enduro route. Rally competitors will recognise this part of the course as the ‘off-road training area’ used by the Army to test the off-road capabilities of their vehicles and drivers.
The event is expected to be an enjoyable day out over terrain that was once thought to have been lost to enduros and is open to all adult classes and subject to a maximum entry of 120.
Steve Plain Motorcycles have kindly agreed to sponsor the event and will donate a set of Michelin Enduro Tyres to the best performing rider in the Clubman / Veteran classes.
