Thursday, June 5, 2014 | 1:30 PM
The ground breaking DirtWise "Ready to Race" bike rental program and it's five riders were greeted with an awesome ride and some great results at Rd. 5 of the National Enduro series held near Arrington, VA on the weekend.
Combining each rider's determination and great riding skills with the exceptional support provided through the DirtWise "Ready to Race" program, these following results were able to be achieved;
- Australian Junior Enduro Champion Ben Kearns scored an impressive win in the 200A class, following a slow start to the day. Kearns started railing as the day wore on, the arm pump subsided, and he became more accustomed to the much tighter trails than what he is used to in his native Australia.
- Argentinian National Champion, Kevin Benavides showed great skills and potential with an excellent 15th place in the Pro class, and 21st Overall, for his debut National Enduro race.
- Remaining DirtWise "Ready to Race" participants Scott Campbell, Rod Kearns, and Tom Barbour all had hassle free rides and scored solid results in their respective classes of 13th in +40A, 12th in +50A, and 9th in 250B.
All of the "Ready to Race" riders were all stoked with their rides and exclaimed, "This was so awesome, getting the chance to go roost at a US National, and to do it with such ease. Utilizing the DirtWise "Ready to Race" program is the only way for riders from far away to check this one off the bucket list - we can't wait for when we do it again!"
