Frog has a new bike and wanted to do a little technical riding. He is the proud owner of a BMW 650 X-Challenge. Managed to try the bike and it is impressive. Felt like a dirt bike. Would not like to have to pick it up though, it being a bit heavy.

After some farm tracks and service roads, a long dirt road felt boring. We were not far from Maniax in Tarlton. Time to test the bike on their mini-MX track. Frog got a good workout after five laps and was happy to move on. He did manage to expertly launch the bike and land it.

It may be an idea to have a fun day / training day at Maniax some time. Some feedback would be useful if you are interested. Could also make it part of a Tarlton ride.

Ended up at Wickers for some brunch and celebrated another great day of riding.
