THE Zimbabwean motorcycling family will next month congregate at Arcadia Dam in Bindura for the two-day 2021 Arcadia Enduro competition.

Enduro is a form of a motorcycle sport run on extended cross-country, off-road courses, and it consists of many different obstacles, and challenges.

And, on November 12 and 13, a number of the country’s top junior and senior dirt bike riders will head out to Arcadia Dam, which is situated about 100km north of Harare, for the 2021 Arcadia Enduro competition.

The competition is being organised by Graham Wright, under the Bogwheelers Club, who also run the exciting motorcycling sport of motocross in this country, under Motorsport Zimbabwe.

Jamie Kerwin, the secretary of the Bogwheelers Club, yesterday told The Herald a number of the country’s top junior and senior riders, who took part in last Sunday’s fourth round of the National Motocross Championship series at Donnybrook Park Raceway, are also expected to compete.

She said will be a private event with no spectators allowed.

‘’As we are still governed by Covid-19 restrictions set by the Sports Commission, it is difficult to say or give you the exact numbers of participants, or who would attend.

‘’This is a private event with no public permitted.

“But, some of the riders we are hoping to participate in this event are young Karl Van As in the juniors 65cc Class, the Thixton brothers — Ashley and Cameron — in the Gold Class as well as some legends Ajs Kirk, Quinten le Roux and Shane Thomas,” Kerwin said.

The junior riders will compete in a 4km course while the seniors or adults will battle it out in the 25km course with green routes.

The 2021 Arcadia Enduro competition is presented by the Bogwheelers Club in partnership with Autoworld, WaterWright Irrigation, Fuchs Silkolene Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Motor Distributors, Yamaha Marine Centre, Kefalos Dairy Products and Watt Africa.
