Midweek Post – Back on Two Wheels
A bit of a change of pace!
I’ll be lining up in Round 2 of the South Australian Reliability Trial Championship, the Mike Connors Trial in the Barossa, this time on two wheels.
I’ll be riding a KTM 450, provided by the Pickstock Racing Team. Ethan’s not just turning spanners either, we’ve worked closely together on the rally car, so it’s good to have that same trust and understanding heading into this.
This isn’t completely new territory for me. I actually started out in motocross at around 14, before moving into rally in my mid 20s after a bike injury.
Last year I had my first crack at a trial again after more than 35 years away from bikes, so this feels like picking that thread back up.
Very different to rally. No co-driver, no pace notes, no outright speed. Just balance, control, terrain, and making the right call in the moment.
I’m trying to convince Adam to get his bike out too!
Looking forward to getting out there and seeing what I’ve still got.
Let’s see what’s left in the tank
