So after a hard day on course yesterday, it was now to the Enduro!  We welcomed our newest member of the Youth development Scheme (Ben Roff) after we had finalised his switch to Orange Monkey on the Saturday evening.

How did he get on?  Well after the disappointment of a mechanical in the NPS on the Saturday, Ben stormed around the castle and took a very impressive 4th place on his debut for the team, Paul came in with very sore legs just behind him in 6th with a very good ride coming from Nat in 24th.  Brodie found it tough after yesterday’s efforts and came home in 31st whilst Mark had a disaster with his chain snapping whilst he was in a good position.

So a tough weekend at the castle was well worth the effort with some fantastic results from our Monkey’s on what was a very challenging course filled with rock gardens and tough root sections  along with the odd switchback climb!  One thing is for sure though; Team Manager Norris will be a happy Monkey this week!
