Round 3 of the British Enduro Championship was set in the picturesque town of Llanidloes where the motocross special test was situated along with the main paddock.
From the start at the Rugby Club, the two day event would make its way to the nearby motocross special test, prior to heading out to the Jones farm, which would be the central hub of activity for refueling and the second special test.
With the weather holding strong and temperatures in the low to mid-twenties, day 1 comprised of two laps with back-to-back motocross tests to end the day of over 7 hours of riding. The course rode well and such a pleasure to be racing there without the normal guaranteed rain.
David Knight took the honors followed by Greg Evans, Paul Edmondson, Daryl Bolter and Edward Jones.
Day 2 threatened with rain showers that never appeared and the course stayed in great shape. Two laps again and another long day with back-to-back tests on a reversed motocross special to finish the event.
Again, David Knight would stand on top of the podium followed by Greg Evans, Tom Sagar, Daryl Bolter and Paul Edmondson.
Stan Watt from Front Row GB had a fairly steady weekend finishing 5th in the E3 on Saturday and 6th in E3 on the Sunday. The good weather doesn't play to Stan's strengths as he needs to improve and concentrate on his special test times in order progress further up the position board.
Check this video out as it gives anyone an idea of the terrain if you have never had a go. http://vimeo.com/12404115
