Enduro Issue 17

This issue celebrates the lead up to the 24 worlds.  Stevo’s written a great rider preview, Brad Davies checks out the course, I was able to interview the three time women’s champ Rebecca Rusch, and Gordo graces the cover on a steed so new we had to Photoshop out the protective stickers and reflectors (actually, that last bit’s not true, but it was pretty new). Meanwhile, there have also been a stack of other exciting events and tales to be told from other great races that have taken place over the last three months to get stuck into as well.

Putting this issue together, it’s been hard not to get swept up in the buzz preceding the big event, which will unfold on the Stromlo hillside in only one more sleep’s time!  Hope to see you on the hillside!
