Held as a 10 hour Night event over a 6 mile lap, the course will be suitable for all Adventure Bikes - just make sure you're wearing TKC's or similar!

You can find out more at www.dawntodusk.co.uk

Are you man (or indeed woman) enough? find out more about the challenge so far here

See you there?

Hi

Will the big bikes be riding the same night enduro course at the same time as the smaller bikes ? or will it be a different course to the smaller bikes ?

Louis

I'm in again ,its a must do for us. B) one of the best events we do imho,we have podiumed as it were but its not why we do it,its more the personal challenge we are interested in. I think its the same night course for all.

Cool

That could make it fun (I will still be taking my small bike )

Looking forwards to it

Louis

Ps please please don't make the night course too big bike friendly and spoil it for the enduro bikes as last years course was great

think im in for giving the 690 a tunning for 10 hours

The Night course for big bikes will have "run-rounds" of the more extreme sections aimed at enduro bikes - diverting onto fire roads/slightly easier going...top Big Bike riders might want to attempt these - but do so at their peril! (please note Scambled Eggs - PERIL)

I hadn't seen this thread when I started the other one but never mind...

I've managed to persuade at least one other person I know to enter so I'll be firing mine off at some point over the next couple of days. It'll be a laugh if nothing else and all I need to do now is work out exactly how much weight I can shed from my lardy Tenere because as it stands it's way too heavy and I'll be knackered before we're half way through.

I'm guessing that because it's mainly going to be on the fire breaks nothing too radical will need doing to the suspension and a set of Trelleborg army specials will be ideal tyres?

Entry in and confirmation received.

Now where can I go and practice?

Well if you could spare an evening in the week running up - there are always track prep duties to be done...

Last chance to dance...we still have about a dozen places available in the overnight 10 hour race for biles over 575cc - you can pay on the day...
Just think of it as Extreme Green Laning...

Good luck lads, spoke to Moly the other day about lessons. Hope you have a great event cheers Spud
