It was suggested that i post a few pics of the recent DB1.4k event (most refer to it as the Dusty Butt, 1400 mostly off road km over 3 days), GPS navigated through Sth Island high country, 150 participants. Leave each morning when you want, get back when you do, no prizes for speed.
I was one of a number of slow moving chicanes amongst a sea of good enduro/trail riders, but got through in one piece with only one unplanned off track excursion. There were one or two breaks and fractures to the limbs/collar bones of the overenthusiastic, and a few dented bikes and ego's but nothing too serious that i know of. A great event, but for a slower rider like me once was enough, i'll be riding in more sedate company next time.
And yes it was quite dusty a lot of the way, but riding up in the clouds at times, and quite a number of 4WD mud plugs and a number of fords to navigate.
