Goodbye New Zealand

Chris Birch KTM New Zealand
Chris Birch Auckland Leaving Dinner

After a few short weeks of organising, me and Mon are finally ready to leave NZ and head to South Africa for the year. Bags are packed, bikes are returned, dog is sent to the farm, all we gotta do is jump on the plane - for 30-odd hours. Joy! Looking forward to a great 2011 racing year.

Mud grovelling

Whilst its the middle of summer and most of New Zealand is getting dry and dusty, one place always has mud to be found. Unfortunatly my gopro died before we got to the really sloppy stuff. Merry Christmas to everyone, hope you have a good one!

It's been a while!

Well, me and Mon are now settled back home in New Zealand. It has been a busy few weeks since the end of the Roof of Africay - didn't go how I wanted to needless to say, but am looking forward to next year, got a few big things in the pipeline so it should be an exciting year.

I'm riding a KTM350 this year - no, nothing is wrong with the 300, will still be riding it at extreme enduros! - just time for trying something different. Have had a few rides on it the last week or so and really enjoy it. Am REALLY enjoying riding in rockless terrain...

Red Bull City Scramble track is underway now ... it's going to be awesome. The containers are bigger than ever, the wall ride looks sick and is pretty much twice as big as 2009 edition!

Make sure you get there and catch all the action from 9:30am on Sunday April 1st, T Pier, Westhaven Marina.

We'll be back there tomorrow to keep building!
