Chris Birch Needs Adventure Riders!

Posted: Thu 10 Nov 2011

On January the first 2012 Chris will start the toughest adventure of his life, the Dakar Rally. It’s something he's dreamed of doing for many years. As well as being the biggest off road race in the world it’s also the most expensive. He's running as a private entrant with no factory support, just the help of sponsors and some generous individuals.

To raise some funds for Dakar (there are a lot of expenses not covered as yet) he am running a ride day on Sunday the 18th of December, starting from Waimauku in North West Auckland. Everyone with a road legal adventure bike is welcome and the entry fee is a donation of your choice towards his Dakar bill, it’s a big bill...

It will be a lead adventure type ride along one of his favourite loops, taking in gravel roads, farm land, clay tracks and a blast up Muriwai beach. You will stop for lunch along the way and have a good day out on the bikes. There will be harder options for the more adventurous, Chris will lead these on his KTM 950 so they won’t be anything too crazy.

There will be trailer back up/rescue if needed.
