R1 - Tunstall

After years of running the ever-popular 'Winter Series' the organisers have been constantly badgered by riders keen to ride enduros around the fun trails that Thetford provides on warmer, sunnier days - and so the Summer Series was born!

The 3 rounds series kicked off at Tunstall - the scene of a gritty final round of the winter series, where water wings would have been useful! Never let it be said that mtbers hold a grudge, though, because hundreds turned up on Sunday, relishing the chance to find out what the TROGs (Tunstall and Rendlesham Off-Road Group) found so inspiring in their little piece of Suffolk....

Paul West - 6-4-2:

“ I thought it was going to be horrible out there but actually it was alright! Too many bends out there for me! The rain was horrible but nothing like it was last time that was atrocious but today was pretty good. There was an almighty last sprint as we hurtled down to the finishing line, I just got ahead of the guy behind me by 2 secs he was riding much stronger than me towards the end especially through the singletrack, I think he took 2 mins out of me and I reckon if there was another 500 meters of twisties and he would have had me for sure!”
