    Mackenzie Country

    I have earmarked 2 weeks for exploring Mackenzie Country in September/October, on my XR650R, and would love some advice on unmissable trails/gravel roads etc from guys who live down there or who have personal experience of riding them. Where should I base myself for exploring? Any help would be really appreciated. Cheers!

    Check with us after this weekend - we are riding "alternative" routes to Brass Monkey, some via the McKenzie Country.

    Being based in Timvegas, I'm a regular on those roads, and when I get my license back on June 6th after a 3 month demerit point induced riding holiday, that will be the first place I'm heading back to....

    So if you need a guide / riding companion, pick me, pick me......

    As for a base, I should have the spare room done by then, or you're always welcome to the couch ( If you can't trust a KBér, who can you trust..... )
