Young people from a range of backgrounds are to take part in a motorcycle challenge on Wednesday, May 30.

Teams from the Midlands and the south of England will compete in a series of events - including trials-riding and checking their machines for safety - at the Enduro Challenge, held at Ashdown Farm, Aston Tirrold, near Didcot.

Giles Shearing of Abingdon Motorcycle Project, who is helping organise the day, said: "The aim of the event is to give young people between the ages of 13 and 19 the chance to take part in motorcycle sport which may normally not be possible for them.

"They will compete in teams of three riding around a continuous off-road circuit."

Entrants will receive certificates and a medal, and team trophies will be awarded to winners.
