BOBBITT ON THE MEND
Five-time National Enduro Champion Russell Bobbitt injured his knee in the sec-
ond test at the recent Rattlesnake Enduro and was forced to pull out.
On The Pegs spoke to Russell on the Wednesday after the race to find out what
happened.
“In the second test I hit a rogue land mine rock that sent me into a tree and I had
a direct hit to my patella and I took a quick jab to the ground with my foot,” said
Bobbitt. “I never hit the ground, but it gradually got worse, forcing me to call it a
day.”
Russell saw a specialist on Wednesday and this is what he was told.
“All the major stuff looks good and solid, and it seems like from what he told me
it was an acute injury to my janky patella, that I have broken, plus tendinitis and/or
bone bruise so it should be good after some time”
Russell told us he was going to take it easy for a few days and see how it pro-
gresses. He had no estimation of when he would return to action.
On The Pegs will stay in contact with the Georgia rider and pass on any new
reports.
