Porridgepot Hill was the venue change for rd1
usually home for the dusty , hot Are You Tough Enough Army
Enduro in July but despite the sub-zero temps the course was
actually faster with
perma -frosted berms and
drop offs this was going to be a quick course.

John had a brilliant 21st with no
mechanicals which had haunted him most of the year .Damian had a very good 39
th ! and poor French Dave
suffering catastrophic poor prep only completing one fast lap , next time mate !

4hr male saw Mat put in a 23rd after saying he lost the plot on the
penultimate lap , with Ben finishing just behind him.
2hr vets was the cat I was entered and even after a
panic attack on our arrival on which I had found my shifters had frozen solid on Johns
roof rack but easily cured with hot coffee poured over them. This was my first outing since August and my new
medication and I was well pleased with a 16
th place and I felt pretty good so look forward to improving in rd 2.

But a great effort lads and good turnout in very cold conditions. James sorry we
didn't wait for your
presentation hope you understand we needed warmth , I know there will be more
opportunity's to see you podium !
Well done guys it was great course, much better than the original venue. James, was waiting for you to lap me but I survived only due to a your puncture. Sorry we didn't hang around but the warmth of the car prevailed
