Despite heavy rain in the days leading up to  the Sudbury Extreme Enduro last Sunday the Sudbury Motor Cycle Club went ahead and staged the event at Foxborough Quarry Sible Hedingham Essex in very muddy conditions. Unfortunately the field the Club rented for car parking was flooded however they obtained a smaller piece of land for cars only while the 4x4 vehicles were sent up a muddy track to the course but with regret several cars had to be turned away when their field was full.

Of the entry of 50 44 riders started at 15 seconds intervals. The four Classes began by running down a hill to their bikes on the starting line. Riding in the Pro Class Jamie Roper (Sudbury) soon took the lead but was being chased by Charlie Frost (Somerset) riding in the Expert Class and throughout the two hours were neck and neck with the lead changing constantly

As the conditions worsen it was Charlie Frost - who rides in British Championship Extreme Enduros - who took the Supreme Champion win by competing 12 laps to Roper's 11. All the riders' struggled around the course and the many Marshals were on hand to haul them up the steep muddy climbs but they still struggled on the flat ground over the many logs, telegraph poles, concrete stairway and the long slab climb.

Jamie Roper was the winner of the Pro Class on 11 laps while Ben Wibberley (Sidcup) was second 10 laps, Sam Toy (Sudbury) 9 laps, Chris Hockey (Sudbury) 4th 8 laps and Ian Parker 5th 7 laps.
