Lewis finishes just outside Top Ten
After taking a year off, the King of the Motos returned to the US Hard Enduro series. This is a GPS-based hard enduro event that was held in Johnson Valley, CA. Riders had to survive a land rush start up a boulder-filled hill and then multiple rock gardens while following their GPS throughout the grueling race. Danny Lewis didn’t get the best jump at the beginning of the race. But he recovered and settled into a rhythm where he could catch up with the pack. This was the first race for Lewis on his Beta Factory 300 RR and he looks to regroup and get ready for the next one in a couple of months.
