Bush clearing, bridge building, and route marking and plotting were meticulously planned by the Lowveld Enduro Club’s route director and marshals.  Two-hundred and eighty riders lined up bright and early to head out on the three gruelling routes, most of which needed to be completed multiple times. Entries filled all 18 classes with three routes to follow: a 10km pink route for beginners, small bikes and weekend warriors, a 25km green route and a challenging 25km red route that could only be ridden with GPS.

And the much-loved Sprockets race was held at the end for all teeny, tiny, budding enduro riders.  It was a tough day in the saddle for the riders as they negotiated some technical pieces with mud, rivers and rocky climbs! Bridges had to be built over the rivers to make them more manageable and the marshals were out and about to help the riders out of some hair-raising situations.
