Eurosport Adventure Cross - November 15th

Post by fixxervi6 » Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:42 am

From mailing:

We are introducing a brand new event to our lineup. We call it Adventurecross. It's an off road track day for Adventure bikes, 650cc and up.

We will be hosting this event at Mike Kidd's new Scramblecross track at the Askey Ranch in Decatur. This is an old fashioned natural terrain moto cross track through the woods with creek crossings and rolling hills. I rode the course on a stock Triumph Scrambler. No problem, just tons of fun.

More details to follow.

if more events like this show up that would be sweet. More of a reason to get a dual sport

Well, right now it's a "dirty" bike, so yeah, I guess it's close.

More rain = less dust!
I wish i could ride this event. Natural terrain MX is fantastic fun. I did a lot of this in Australia.

That was a blast! There were about 20-ish riders: 3 on DR650s, 3 on KLRs, and the rest GS, Tigers, and a KTM Adventure.
