Charlie Frost notched up yet another win crossing the line after two hours of hard slog in this years Sudbury clubs Foxborough extreme enduro, on Sunday.
The industrious members of the Sudbury had laid out a fantastic circuit at the old pit site which included of the available natural team which included some very slippery climbs and descents complete with some deep boggy bits thrown in to make it interesting. But then in front of the surprisingly large crowd of spectators the man-made sections of tree trunks, old tyres and old bits of concrete made the whole thing even harder but much more entertaining.
Frost didn’t have things all his own way because Ben Wibberley was pushing him all the way and completed 19 laps before the two-hour time limit ran out. Stevie Roper had a disaster of a first lap and really struggled over the man-made section. He calmed down after a couple of laps and crossed the finish line in third place, all be it four laps down on the flying leaders. Craig Roper was fourth, a lap down on Stevie.
Jonathon Pearson won the experts class and completed 15 laps which would have placed him fourth in the pro class. Jason Pearce and Barney Thurgood both did 14 laps and finished second and third in class. Mark Kirby was fourth, one lap down with top British quad rider Sheldon Seal fifth. Seal was heard complaining about having two wheels missing on his KTM.
Jack Austin completed 12 laps to win the clubman class, two laps clear of second place man Joe Phillips with Jo Henthorn third.
Five riders thought it would be fun to do the enduro on trials bikes without padded seat which is usual on the no sitting down sport of trials. The lack of a seat didn’t seam to bother the young Ryan Crisp for he stood up for the whole two hours and covered an impressive 14 laps. The older Jez Moss had given the event some thought and fitted a proper enduro seat to his trails bike for a more comfortable event. He finished second, two laps behind the winner Crisp, with Jason Green third.
