G ardner wer e right there to en ha nce
th e acti on , with Cahors winning th e
second round and the overall. Gardner

Andy T essor, just back from a sho ulder injury, o u t front early o n , but tiring quickly. The second moto was a
slug fest . with both riders co min g ung lued from th e din more th an o nce
o ver th e double jumps an d hi ghbank slide rs . Oveland turned up th e
wi ck towards th e end in the back section a nd overhau led th e H onda with

GEO RGETOWN, CA, MAY 14
Josh Chandler and Christopher
John P into won the overall B
and C titles, respectively, at the
District 36 Fools Gold Enduro.
While Mark Lucas has been credited
with th e overall win, a problem during the event is the su bject of much
debate. A protest has been received
and it is unclear who will finall y be
cred ited with the overall win.
The problem centers around a new
trai l cut by a few top-level A riders
during th e event. These riders ran
ov er so me manzanita bushes a nd cu t
a trail that ended up on a different
sectio n of th e course. The new trail
crea ted a lot of confusion as later riders had abo u t a SO/SO cha nc e of
choosing the righ t trail. Fortunately,Walt
Menge from th e hosting California
Enduro Riders Associ ation made it to
th e new turn a nd m arked it befor e th e
B and C riders a rr ived .
The protest ask s that a ll th e chec ks
a fter th e area in questi on be th rown
o u t o f th e sco ri ng fo r th e A riders.
Certai n ly, th e co m pe titio n was a bso lur ely fai r u p to this po int , but riders
wh o mad e th e righ t direct ion choice
want to be credi ted j ust ly for their
wh ol e ride. T he final deci sio n will be
up to District 36 a nd th e AM A.
