A motorcycle summertime adventure ADV24 by EnduroRall24
As we promised there were 5 motorcycle adventures in the summertime to come, so this one is the final adventure from the summertime, although took place in September 2022. But let’s call it the closing of summer.
ADV24 experience 8-11 September – our second time
We had no doubt we would take part in ADV24 September 2022. We loved the ER24 2021 edition with the marathon ride. This time the formula changed and the whole event was in the Mazury area with the base at Lechu Farm. The place hosted us, motorcyclists for so many years, so we came there with memories, pleasure, and an appetite for a motorcycle adventure.
Day 1 Is it summertime?
The 2022 ADV24 edition was an adventure, not a rally. On the first day, we went on a long adventure track. From Lechu Farm through meadows, forests, uphills, and downhills, towards the historic Bridges in Stańczyki.
The weather this year was chilly, and a little rainy, so the faster you drove off-road, the warmer it was 😉
In the afternoon after a warm bath, we were taking a 3 km walk toward a nearby lake for a bonfire, a floating sauna experience available, and late night boat river crossing on the way back. It was unexpected, fun and we really enjoyed it.
Day 2 Adventure
The next day was a 200 km off-road track, this time with a stage of TSD riding (Time Speed Distance, riding according to all indications around speed in the road book) which was a nice, challenging novelty for us. It is not easy to hit the perfectly right speed at the exact time. Very interesting experience and learning. The day was full of surprises for me, as one stage was repeated from last year and it was the Cierzpięty stage, with so much fun while climbing one hill after another. The best part of the day for me. It was the stage where I had enormous fun, especially since my Honda was so easily climbing each time up the hills.
Completion of the day for us was at the military compound in Orzysz, where we rode a 30-ish km loop. With struggles at the beginning in deep sand for me and a few drops I found my pace and completed the track. It was overwhelming for me after the whole day.
Together with our friends and EnduroRally24 Team, we spent a great time during the event. Enjoying our hobby, me skilling up while riding with the men’s team, riding in totally different weather conditions than last year, when it was simply hot in September.
We keep waiting for June 2023 ER24, although still unknown if we both will be riding.
This was the final longer adventure we had during the summertime.
Now, in the wintertime, it is time for some mechanical work, enhancements, shopping, and garage time with our motorbikes. So we try to spend it efficiently and look for weather windows for riding.
Not to forget MotoDax is working on his Maroko Adventure movie from December 2022. This will hopefully be on within a month or so.
Enjoy with us the memories caught in the photos and in the movie.
