4
Weeks To Go
Before Dawn To Dusk 2010!!!
Have You Booked Yet?
There's only 4 weeks to go until the start of the UK's only combined 24, 12 and 6 hour enduro and as with previous years the bookings are coming in thick and fast.
Every year we try to find new routes both to preserve the area for future events and also to make each lap as enjoyable as possible whether they are first timers or veterans of the race. Well this year is no different. Currently on the Walters Arena site groundwork is underway for the erection of several wind turbines. This has had significant changes to some areas of the site which has led to new tracks being found and new obstacles being introduced.
Dawn to Dusk event organiser Nick Plumb says of the changes,
"We thought the turbines were going to cause a problem but instead they have made a great change to the site and the event. There's been a huge amount of earth moved up there and we're using this to our benefit".
The event will run as it did last year with the 24 hour riders setting off at 7pm on Saturday night on a shorter lap followed at 7am by the 12 hour racers at which time the full track will be opened. Then at 1pm the 6 hour riders will set off with everyone finishing at about 7pm on the Sunday night.
But don't get there to late, support the riders of the future who will be competing in a 2 hour enduro from 10am - 12pm on the Saturday.
If you've already entered then keep your eye on the website as race numbers will be listed on there within the next couple of weeks.
Also, for the 24 hour competitors keep an eye out for some great deals on extra lights for both your bike and you to make the most of the shorter night time laps.
Still need some persuading? Well why not have a look at what comedian Ross Noble thought when he took on the mammoth 24 hour race last year. Click here to see his Fifth gear Web TV report on the event.
