Adventure? Yeah, we can do adventure:

Challenging? Yeah, we got some that too:

Lasy year Saturday was a very neat route through lots of scenic twisty gravel, then beers & bullshit at camp, then Fishers & the 42 which are definitely a touch more adventurous than the average gravel road.

Cheers

Can't take you anywhere mate, look at you stirring up the North Islanders

I might have to have a chat with your missus and look at getting your computer time limited, an inflated ego with too much time on your hands, a dangerous mixture

Won't be able to attend this one myself MXNUT as I am planning a trip through the Nelson area around those dates, hope you and all the boys have a mint ride

I'll be there (again).

This is the same weekend as the "No Way In Hell Enduro".

Since we are in the region (assuming a bit here) we could pop in for a look-see.

I would rather ride Chris, ride all day and enjoy what the country has to offer... I am sure they don't want adv rider wannabees littering the car park... present company excepted mate as you are a gooder'er rider than me...

Went to a trail ride there about 1 month ago and rode that river bed ( along with Cary & Andy ) and it would be the only part of the course that an adventure bike would even look at.

As for the rest of it, it was hard enough on a proper dirt bike and that was only a trail ride !!! .

Good luck to them i say, i like riding not pushing. On last years event there were only 6 finishers.

That was an awesome trail ride. A little footage here . (Cary in the mud taking the hard option, got my boots muddy helping him drag it out

not to mention the drop off we had to get our bikes down

)

Sounds like Saturdays ride might be doable for me and the XT?? If so, I'd be keen (If it's not a boys only affair).
