Variety being the Spice of Life, the new 'White Horse' venue offers up something a little different with the promise of a fast and flowing circuit set in a magnificent valley overlooking Weymouth bay - we can't wait!

Tamsin Jones Dakar 2010...

Tamsin loves a challenge. Twice British Ladies Enduro Champion, twice best girl in the Red Bull Romaniacs, best girl in the Dawn till Dusk, best girl in the El Chott rally of Tunisia, best girl in the Turaeg Rally, and many of you have been well and truly thrashed by her at our own SCEC events! We like all that, so when she told us she was off to have a go at the Dakar, well we always knew it was only a matter of time.

It's a huge undertaking and she's well on her way but there's a long way to go. Take a few minutes to look over her website - and if you want to help her along you can do that there too.

Maze in the Maize results...

Sunday’s SCEC Maze in the Maize event was won by Paul Cowshall on his Future Racing KTM. The superb cross-country circuit incorporated a bit of everything, including several miles of circuit carved through 160 acres of 2 metre high maize crop.
The event was blessed with a full entry and perfect weather, and whilst not technically difficult, was reckoned to be one of the most physically demanding events of the SCEC calendar. Gary Wright and Dave Nuttall chased Paul home for 2nd and 3rd respectively while 4th man home and best Vet was Mik Hill (racing on a trials tyre). Jerry Box rounded out the top 5 to take best Expert.

Last minute Maze in the Maize news...

The course is cut and we're good to go! To put one of these together you need a very understanding farmer, some very careful planning, and a bit of luck. You also need some pretty fancy equipment - to cut the course through the 160 acres of Maize we needed to bring in a huge German built Forager (costing a mind blowing £100,000!) fitted with a special Maize cutter head another (costing another £35,000!). The cut crop, hundreds of tons of chopped maize, then has to be hauled away to storage by a team of tractors & trailers. It's worth the effort though and with the weather looking good too riders and organisers can't wait for tomorrow!

Look forward to seeing you there

Gary & the team
