Are the rideouts in another thread or do you just follow someone leaving the site around 9am? :unsure:

Hi all - travelling down from Newcastle area on Thursday with the Africa Twin DCT - looking forward to this one as ive never been to an ABR event. Quick question on the ride outs - is the big bike trail ride out going to be a gentle or normal gnarly one? Im TRF and also compete in the big bike rallies on my 1150GSA BUT i have a back injury at the minute awaiting an operation so I best ask as I dont want to slow up things if I drop the AT (its not so easy to pick up as the GSA!)
Thanks in advance of any local info guys and gals.
See you there!

When you check in Eunice will let you know the timings but both the green lane and road ride out will be leaving the site between 10 and 10.30amish

The trails are straight forward and big bike friendly when dry - and the outlook is dry. A couple have ruts and the most difficult is easily doable on an Africa Twin in the hands of an experienced rider. If you do drop the AT there'll be enough riders on hand to help.

Hi gents,
Just wondering if KTM are gonna be there on the sunday? I'm hoping to get there for the sat night then a full day on the sunday. I haven't been to one of your events before but I'm keen to get into gang.
Looking to try the KTM adventure bikes but I'm a proper short a**e, so it'll be good to get an idea on how much I'm going to struggle on some trails. Also, I'm looking to get a stroker enduro bike so would be interesting to have a bash on those if they have them there.
Will bring my DRZ as it's been a while since it got dirty! (thumbs)
Look forward to meeting you all and cracking website/mag by the way. Been a reader for a good while now

You'll be able to test out the KTM adventure range up until midday on Sunday but not their enduro bikes.
