DirtWise/Maxxis/KLIM Race team rider Drew Higgins continued his great start to the 2015 race season, with a solid 3rd place finish at Round 5 of the Nat Enduro series, held in slippery conditions over the weekend in Missouri.

Aiming for another strong run at the Expert/AA class Championship in 2015, Higgins struggled to find a good flow all day long in the difficult conditions, finally settling in for a 3rd place finish which extended his Championship points lead.

Meanwhile, the DirtWise “Ready to Race” bike rental program was fully sold out again with a big contingent of national and international riders choosing to ride a fully prepped race bike for the day and then just walk away at the end without any worries of having to wash or fix the bike. The top placing rider out of this group was Cassidy Brown who nailed a sensational 2nd place finish in the Women’s A/B class.

There are only 3 remaining bikes available for rent at the next National in Wyoming, or the DirtWise team have the ability to take a rider’s own personal bike to the WY race if desired – contact dirtwise@shanewatts.com for more info or to have any questions answered.

Meanwhile after conducting a successful DirtWise Riding school on the two previous days, fellow DirtWise/Maxxis/KLIM racer Jason Thomas scored a triumphant victory at Round 5 of the AWRCS series in Pennsylvania. Thomas scored an easy victory over Ryan Lojak and Kaleb Ward, and used this race as some great on-bike training for the next GNCC race this coming weekend in West Virginia.
