“First time riding the AMA Headstock 500. What can I say. Absolutely fantastic. First time riding in Wales other than trail centre's years ago. Some of the best, if not the best off road riding I've ever done.”
First time riding the AMA Headstock 500. What can I say. Absolutely fantastic. First time riding in Wales other than trail centre's years ago. Some of the best, if not the best off road riding I've ever done. Scenery and dramatic landscapes. Huge climbs and decents, river crossings. It had all you could ask for. The AMA team are also fabulous. Could not ask for better organisation and help if needed. Very approachable and the checkpoints are second to none as are the people manning them. Can not recommend AMA highly enough . Will be looking into other events by them now I've arrived home and would definitely like to do the Headstock 500 again next year. Also fellow riders were great. All in the same boat and a great feeling of camaraderie. Great memories.
