This year’s Brechfa event of the ACU Metzeler British Enduro Championship has had a revamp, with many new changes from the traditional format of the past few seasons. (23rd and 24th July)
The new start area and covered Parc Ferme will be situated in the market town of Llanybydder, using the hard standing concrete yards of Evans Bros livestock market. At the site there is ample parking for motor homes and caravans within the grounds, all conveniently located within 200 yards of the local shops, Supermarkets and take away restaurants. There are also camping facilities available adjacent to the paddock.
In the Championship Class Greg Evans will be looking to continue his winning form after taking victory on both days of the Knighton Enduro last weekend. The likes of Tom Sagar, Daryl Bolter, Simon Wakely, Alex Rockwell, and Danny McCanney will be looking for good results.
As usual, the championship class will start proceedings on Saturday morning. They will ride just over half a mile of tarmac, to warm the bikes up prior to the start of the first cross country test of the day at Llwyncrwn woodland, which is a new location for Dyfed Dirt Bike Club. From here, another short run of road work will take them on to the start of forestry
A quick blast from here will take the rider into the Brechfa forest for fuel and the start of the forest checks, where all riders will do several laps, depending on class, of the 25 mile loop that has been used over the last couple of years. The end of each lap will incorporate the MX Test.
The day will finish off with the ride back over the mountain to the cross country test and the pre check at the Market. On Saturday evening, there will be catering facilities available, including a licensed bar and Hog roast for everyone to enjoy, in the friendly atmosphere that the club are trying hard to achieve.
Day 2 will follow the same route and format with one change being one lap less for all classes. The route is approximately 14 miles of flowing track that will pass through forestry and over open moorland until they reach the 2nd test of the day right at the Main Brechfa forest entrance. This motocross test is easily accessible for both spectators and support crew.
