LEIGH Hopkins takes part in the biggest off road Moto X endurance race of the year at Weston-super-Mare this weekend.

The Weston Beach Race is in it's 21st year and, with many of the 1000 riders coming from all over the world, promises to be one of the best.

This is the Evesham racer's second year of competition and he has been preparing himself for the big event for the last three months by increasing his training and refining his diet in readiness for the three-hour event.

Hopkins will be on board a new Kawasaki, sponsored by Grinlec Electrical.
