Recently the Inaugural Sh*tbox Enduro took place in Sydney in an effort to raise funds for Kidney Health Australia, a cause close to my heart. The premise was simple, buy the sketchiest and cheapest clunker you could find and have some fun racing a mellow four stage Enduro at the Mill Creek Mountain Bike trails in Lucas Heights.
The event was a total success, the rain held out with smiles and laughter in abundance as competitors battled the terrain and mechanical issues. In the end we managed to raise $1150 for Kidney Health Australia and everyone took home some fantastic prizes thanks to our awesome sponsors: Cyclery Studio, Huck The World and The Wetseat.
