    I always associate kiwi rider Chris Birch with extreme events but this is him racing an enduro today and he’s bloody quick.

    Nice one Mick, I really like the poker run rides and the hills sound like fun, how long will a lap take do you think ?

    Great example right there Snowy,,, same goes for Bigger Al I reckon,,,
    He motors all day too :whistle:

    Damus is a one off legend and Bigger Al goes hard too , last weekend at Macksville Al was telling me about his adventure riding days back when comms , spot trackers and GPS weren’t around . Great stories to hear B)

    Why is it considered an age thing I wonder , 14 hrs through some tuff country like the Simpson or walkers crossing or the Vic high country is as tough as a Murphs ride and I don’t see people lining up for them :laugh: myself included :P

    I think to compare is unfair, but to try all with an open mind is the real spice in life

    TB

    I think it’s an age thing because although all ages can adv ride ,and many do well into their 60’s , single track riding becomes harder to do as you get older. Adv rides can be easier to tailor to suit an older rider whereas a trail ride to make it easier would end up on fire roads and if your doing that you might as well be heading for a destination – adventure riding.

    I have done a lot of both over the last few years and I would say single track riding is like a top shelf shot that goes straight to the head whereas adv riding is a quality beer that creeps up on you.

    The result is the same , satisfaction and a silly grin at the end of the day :)

    If its a wet forecast and going to be muddy for a while i go on the rear an S12 ( it doesn’t last long though ) but the Dunlop Geomax MX51 is my favourite all rounder , it finds good traction in all conditions and grips to the end. Ev’s wet greasy rocky creeks last weekend were a good test for my 23 hour old Dunlop and with a steady throttle I found traction comfortably :)

    Michelin M12 front works well for me in all conditions ( I didn’t get on too well with the S12 front in really wet loam )
