Jarvis back for 2013 Wildwood Rock Extreme
The British hard man and recent winner of the famed Erzberg Enduro in Austria has confirmed he'll be returning to Australia in November to try and win back the Wildwood crownArguably the best extreme enduro rider in the world, British trail blazer Graham Jarvis, has confirmed his participation in the third annual 2013 Wildwood Rock Extreme near Tullamarine airport in Melbourne on Sunday, November 10.
Jarvis, who recently won the Erzberg Enduro in Austria by nearly 19 minutes, will be joined at Wildwood by 2010 champion Mitch Harper and last year’s winner Matt Phillips, as well as a cast of other big name Aussies. Jarvis won Wildwood in 2011 but didn’t contest the event in 2012.
At the event, riders will again push -- with unique forms of improvisation -- through terrain made up of hills, rock gardens, bricks, logs, tyres, rocks, ute tubs and swinging tyres. Meanwhile, the bog holes will be getting some special attention with some much needed rocks added to reduce the water levels.
There will be five separate classes -- Pro, Expert, Clubman, Over 40s and a new one for trials bikes -- battling it out for $23,750 in prizemoney, including $10K for the winner. The location is just a 10-minute drive from Tullamarine airport.
