Dyfed Dirt Bike Club hosted the rounds of the ATP Brechfa Enduro, which was run over two days.
The event attracted some 130 riders from all over the UK as well as the Isle of Man and with a lap of some 36 miles incorporating farm land, moorland going as well well as NRW forest land in the Brechfa forest itself, one of the timed special test was ran on the private forest land of event sponsor ATP and was the longest test in the event pushing riders to their limits.
Saturday and Sunday both saw an early 9 am start, with riders not finishing till late on Saturday afternoon, with the championship and expert classes taking in three laps whilst the other classes would compete two laps. Sunday would be the same, but with the Expert class being reduced to just the two laps.
Check times were deliberately made slack on a safety decision with the dusty riding conditions after the recent heatwave that hit the UK, and the results would be won over the three brand new special tests, which were ridden eight times on the Saturday and seven on the Sunday by the championship elite class.
Jed Etchells from the Isle of Man would take the double win for both rounds, whilst Enduro GP rider Steve Holcombe would take runner-up and Alex Walton from Rhayader third, again with the latter rider finishing in the same position both days.
The British Enduro Championship continues on 21–23 August with the Devon 2 Day Enduro at South Molton.
