Stars head east for Enduro showdown

From World Enduro Canada

Parry Sound, ON is the place to be on Sept. 11-12 for the Royal Distributing Canadian Enduro Championship presented by Parts Canada and brought to you by Honda Canada.

The first four rounds in Alberta and BC were a huge success and built the momentum and excitement for the final four rounds. There were over 120 riders at the first events and at least that many are expected to show up in Parry Sound and Labelle, QC on Sept. 18-19.

There are over 18 riders from Western Canada making the trip on the Royal Distributing race transport including Honda's Jason Schrage, KTM's Geoff Nelson, Husaberg's Shane Cuthbertson, and Husqvarna's Ryan and Nick Graffunder, along with Julian Cerny, Jared Thomas, Paul Petrin and wildman Ben Rego.

To answer the western challenge eastern riders like Brian Wojnarowski, Adam Millson, Guy Giroux and Chris Van Hove are getting ready. Machine Racing is bringing in a few hot shots like Jake Stapleton on a Honda 250F and former MX star Ryan Gauld on a Yamaha 250F. Add in Quebec star Philipe Chaine and the E1 class will be very, very interesting.

Another Eastern star, eight-time US National Enduro Champion Mike Lafferty is also trying to get his Husaberg to Parry Sound to mix it up in E2.

Saturday and Sunday the Rockstar gals will be in attendance with thier Ford F150 super truck giving out samples. Offroadmotorcycles.ca is planning a Sunday night after party at Don Cherry's in downtown Parry Sound.
