by 0

Another hugely contested category. Everyone’s favourite event is usually skewed by the events that they attended, by the events they did well at and by the events that had the best weather. Nevertheless there were some clear contenders for this category:

‘Ard Rock Enduro

Many of the ST gang were at this year’s event – read the report of the fun that was had here. It’s an event that has gone from strength to strength over a few short years. The riding, the atmosphere, the camping and the camaraderie among riders were among the things mentioned when nominating this future classic.

Fort William World Cup

Tens of thousands of people make the long trip up north to see their heroes race on one of the toughest and longest courses on the World Cup circuit. And there was even perfect weather this year.
