DRAGONS ENDURO 2026

For those of you that were there and for those that weren’t, the Dragons Enduro was extremely well received by the riders. 

Huge thanks must go to those that gave their time and effort over the past three days with a special mention to Steve and Taylor Mayeur who grafted all weekend doing some of the not so glamorous jobs and doing them well; you guys are an essential part of the team and as always were a huge help. 

Also a big thank you to Sue Bulmer for signing on and being on the front desk all day, plus the cakes on Saturday were a real bonus, it’s always good to see you. Plus, you get to go home dry this year (last year Tristan emptied the equivalent of two buckets of water over Sue while knocking off the water that had collected on the awning roof, Sue has been too polite to mention it this weekend, so I thought I would).

The Training Day held on Saturday was once again hugely successful, the participants were gushing praise for their trainers to all of us that would listen (until we got bored). They all enjoyed their day thoroughly and would recommend it and do it again. Fantastic effort everyone.

Possibly the highlight of the day was the Revvi race, there were lots of little people being cheered on and encouraged by three times as many big people.

 

The usual suspects were responsible for the technical aspect, track, setup etc, but stand-out mentions for Claire Charles, Claire Abbott and their team for sorting the entry and lap scoring plus plenty of other stuff that made it run very smoothly. If success was measured in smiles it would be off the scale. Another fantastic effort.

Overall it was another big Witley weekend, another huge effort, another huge success. All of which could only happen with the constant enthusiasm of this year's Clerk of the Course Fred Campbell, who has spent weeks sorting “extra going” and tweaking the route to get that little bit more out of it. 

A huge Club thank you, Fred, will you also pass on our thanks to Lady Louise for letting us use the land, without which none of the above would have happened and lots of big and little people wouldn’t have had half as much fun doing anything else...

Well done to all involved!
