RUST magazine: Rust#15
RUST magazine: EnduroGP saw big changes for 2016, but can the world championship survive the massive overhaul coming in 2017? RUST’s own W2D grudge match – can you beat the boss and still keep your job? Riding the Road of Bones – which should you fear more: the bears or the mosquitoes? Yeah, we’re asking the big questions again, here at RUST… We’re offering answers, too, only we’re not quite sure how correct they are. You can decide on that. It’s a monster issue by the way, our biggest yet at 77 or 154 pages (depending on the format you view with), so it’s a big read even before you reach the sticky issue of the 1980s trials bike restoration project at the tail end. And in case you miss the cue: the Dear Diaries are fictitious (you know, made up), so stay relaxed… Enjoy your riding – and reading! Best JON BENTMAN

another seven minutes and then three minutes<br />
in the next two time checks. In my mind I was<br />
making progress. If I could zero the next time<br />
check I could start making back time.<br />
JB: Half an hour behind Warren I was focused<br />
on the job and the miles ticked by, it felt lonely<br />
without Warren but I had my head full with<br />
keeping going as the trail got gnarly. The hills<br />
got steep, both up and down, but it was the long<br />
deep ruts that hurt the most. There was another<br />
test, at Cwmythig Hill, along the way, which I<br />
enjoyed even with the experts whistling past<br />
my ears every 20 seconds or so.<br />
6: A LATE FINISH<br />
WM: By the time I hit town and the finish I had<br />
made back the 30 minutes or so I’d lost and<br />
gained another 15 minutes overall so dutifully I<br />
waited out the 15 minutes to my scheduled finish<br />
time of 5:15pm, well happy with myself.<br />
JB: I was pleased to find that I was keeping on<br />
time again, the only downside was my finish time<br />
was now early evening, practically 6pm – a long<br />
day after a 9:51am start.<br />

WM: This had been one of my best rides ever –<br />
I had gotten into a rhythm and had been in the<br />
thick of the clubmen riders due to me being late.<br />
I was happy to be holding my own and making<br />
passes during the day so much so that I had<br />
caught and passed a number of the clubmen<br />
vets and even some of the sidecars that has<br />
started hours before us.<br />
I will hold the memory of that first day’s riding<br />
as one of my best times on a dirt bike EVER.<br />
It was like racing the longest hare and hounds<br />
ever, anyone that rides will know there are days<br />
when things just flow.
