A group of local motorcycle enthusiasts decided to set up a new racing club eight years ago, to race their off-road motorbikes. And so the Lincolnshire Enduro Club was born.
The club has gone from success to success during that time; not only have they been racing their bikes, but the members have also been raising money for various charities, and for the last six years all money raised through raffles and auctions has gone to support Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance.
Enduro Club PR Manager, Martin, said: “Many of the riders and helpers connected with the club have road going motorcycles as well as their dirt bikes. They recognise the good work that LNAA can provide for both riders and racers, especially when we can all, from time to time, get knocked off our steeds!”
In addition to the club raising £2,000 in 2023, one founder member, Andrew Baker, also set off and walked the 800 km long, Camino Del Norte pilgrimage routes across Northern Spain and raised a further £450.
Club president Kevin Bartle Sr, and 2023 Champion, Dan Johnson, presented cheques to LNAA just before the first race of 2024.
LNAA Community Fundraiser Jac Sutherland said: “This is an incredible donation, and we want to thank every member of the club for their generosity.
“We receive no direct Government funding and rely on the support of organisations like Lincolnshire Enduro Club to keep our helicopter and critical care cars operational, delivering the best pre-hospital emergency care to patients 24/7, seven-days-a-week.”
