U no fficia l resu lts give George
Hendrix, Distri ct 36's top en d u ro
ride r , the overa ll win a board
his IT400D Yam a ha a t the
T hi rd A n n ua l Moon sh in er End uro
with a score of 17 po int s. Second p la ce
went to Huskv ride r C harlie Marsh al l
who finished ';' ith 23 points .
Some 300 more riders straggled in
be h ind th e le aders or found their wav
ba c k to ca mp through the rain. slec't
and snow from wha teve r point on the
~6. m i l e co u rse t he y decided to pack it
In .
The rain began Saturda y evening
a nd co nt in ued for th e next 24 hours in
spurts a nd put the fina l tou ch to a
co urse whi ch was prt'tt y rugged in th e
first pla ce. R ig h t o ff the start there
was a long. ste e p . slip pery d ownhill
t h ro ug h th e woods whi ch had eve n th e
e xpe rts wid e -eyed . Before th e first
c hec k a t 10. 2 mi les th ere two verv
sno tty hill s wh ich e nded rna nv rid e r'~
hopes of stay i ng o n th eir ·m in u te.
These uphills sta lled ne arly everyone
a nd put pe r haps 20 %
of t he
co ntesta nts
ou t
of
the
a ctio n
. a ltoge t he r. For t hos e who m ad e- it.
the re was a p la ce ca lled t he " roc k pi le"
to get ove r and aga in there was a
bottlenec k. These obst acles wo u ld
have b....n littl e tro ub le under t he
preva len t dro ug h t co nd itio ns . T he
ra in m ade th e m ne a rl y im passab l.. a nd
th e o rd e r of th e d a y was to fin d a n
a ltr-na re ro u te wit h th e res u lt ing
co nfusio n a nd > d ;;1ng-e r from riders
going ba c kwa rds o n th e cou rse . So me
mem b ers of the poi nt c rew deci ded to
c ha nge t he ro ute aro u nd a coup le of
the bad spots t he re by possib ly g iving
the peop le wh o by passed t he
bott lenecks an unfair advantage ove r
those who pushed over t he top . T wo
protests were lodged . It was thought a t
first that a rider in the B or C class
inigh t ta ke the overall tr ophies from
the A riders who bore the fu ll b ru nt of
the rough te rra in : ho weve r m ost of the
experts e it her fou nd ways arou nd or
struggled t hroug h a nd we re soo n in
the lea d again .
T he gas c heck was 46 m iles ou t a nd
th e cou rse was more conservative for
th e nex t 20 m iles o r so - a lot of fire
road . But as the sa me tim e th e ra in
bega n to fa ll and it beca me co lde r and
then it bega n to ha il. H a il p ett et s
whipping into o ne's face di scouraged
speed , bu t so me rid e rs co u ld h a ndle it
never the less.
T he pace slowed before th e fi nis h as
t he trai l entered t he great d ismal
swa mp - a stretc h of mud hol es wh ich
m ig h t have been the scene fo r ca noe
ra ces . One hole in pa rticu lar cla imed
a high to ll of watered out machin es
and d oused c nd u ro riders . There was a
slippery log before th e pool and it was
e asy to nose dive from the log into the
wat e r when r e flexes are n umbed from
the co ld and ha nd / eve coordination is
sloppy . More than ~ few riders were
. hrought to a sto p just a few miles fr om
th e e nd a nd had to wait for the
sweepers . The co u rse finish e d up with
a sp rint through th e pines a nd a short
jog up th e rid ge wh ere th e camp sit e
was loc a ted. It had been a da y of high
speed av e rages. and nearly impassab le
obstac les. More riders g o t back to
ca m p by wa y of escape routes t han
a ctua lly finis hed . Those fin isher p ins
wi ll probab ly be co llec to r's items .
It was a n exce lle nt e nd u ro . We ll
