- I decided to enter a Hard Enduro, I’ve been watching hard enduro videos on You Tube for years, I’ve been to events and I’ve filmed them, I felt i was ready to ride in one, for the experience, to see how my riding skill level stacked up and for the fun.
The DVMCC Hard Enduro at Bonnie Doon proved to be a great race, I loved it, it was hard in parts and it was also a lot of fun. I now know what I need to work on and getting over bigger logs is number one on my list.

Legend ! 🤙🤙
Thanks for watching you are very generous with your Legend comment.🤣
I haven’t laughed so much in ages Rod, you’re a great rider given a late start, but more so a master story teller with fantastic wit and humour, this was the most enjoyable thing I’ve watched in a long time,👍
Thank you so much, I’m glad you found my humour funny. I had a bit of fun doing it, but you never know if it’s going to translate to laughs for other people.
The Mighty Berg!!! Well done
Absolutely loved this. Great personality, great content. Well done fella
Thanks for watching and leaving such a kind comment. 👍😬
Loved your wit, Rod. A most enjoyable look at your riding skills! Well done.
Many thanks!
I’m exhausted. And I only had to watch !
Thanks it was pretty tough in parts.
Gained anouther sub loved it carnt wait to see what’s to come from your channel
Really enjoyed your voice over! Couldn't look away. Looking forward to more uploads
Thanks so much for watching, I’m glad you liked the voice over I wasn’t too sure it was going to work.
Did you did sooo good… I loved your voiceover. Made me laugh many times.
Thank you, I’m glad you laughed I wasn’t sure anyone would find it funny. Thanks for watching.
Great job Rod well done awesome effort! Love the humorous commentary 👍🏼
Thanks Phil, appreciate you watching the vid and finding at least some of it funny. Cheers
The narrator reminded me of story time on play school haha, cool vid 👍👍
That was a crack up rodney - love every minute !👍
Thank you, appreciate the comment glad you found it funny.
I really enjoyed this, awesome video and congrats for accomplishing it
Thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Absolutely loved it Rodney. The commentary was halirous. I want to enter my first Hard Enduro this year. A mate and I got bikes last year and have been playing in the hills around Albury.
Thanks Shaun, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. All I can say is the best way to prepare for a Hard Enduro is to ride more, and each time you ride, you push yourself to do the steeper hills. That alone will improve your ride fitness and your skills, get stuck in it you'll love the challenge.
Absolutely gutted I can’t make it to the next Bonnie Doon ☹️
Phew! That looked hard! I'm impressed with your riding skills, and commentary. You make me laugh! A very enjoyable watch! Congratulations on lasting the distance! 👍😁
Thanks Bob, it was a mixture of fun and hard work, but after it was all said and done it was awesome.
Great content
Thanks for watching, I appreciate you taking the time to comment too.
Shit Rod your riding has come a long way mate, impressive 👌 Good to watch, cheers
Thanks Josh.
Good result...enjoyed that despite the angle of the dangle
Yes the camera angle was a bugger, I’ve learnt from that, won’t make that mistake again. Thanks for watching.
The last guy passed this vlog onto me. Funny watching your enjoyable typical dirtbike misery. Perhaps a little Monty python in that.... The single track quest, is Star Glen a private club circuit, land, secrets safe with me. Many events a year. Thanks for the entertainment.
Yes Star Glen is a private property with plenty of awesome tracks. COVID buggered the events but DVMCC has 5 to 7 events a year.
Great stuff. Did your rib heal in time for the race?
How's the serenity? So much serenity
Until the race started then the serenity went through the roof. Aah the smell of 2 stroke in the air.
Bit of an old bull, young bull thing going on there. Well done. Great video. What's your GPS unit?
Garmin eTrex 22, thanks for watching.
How about that mine shaft, jeepers.
Great video, I have never entered a comp, but ride some farily sweet stuff.
I rode in the 2023 Bonnie Doom Hard Enduro race two weekends ago, did much better than my first, got 6 laps in and finished 3rd in the Bronze Over 45 class. And yes the mines are still there and still scary.👍
@@MileMunchinAdventures
Very good work! A 3rd is a nice acheivement I have a new bike coming in the next week, once I am all set up you should come for a spin with me and some of my mates.
Usually ride north west of Melbourne!
@@jimiemick sounds good send me an email through my website with your details and we’ll make this ride happen.👍
Great vid rod! Hopefully I can line up with you on the next one! (Ps brave man wearing the metal watch band, all I can think about is that getting jammed in a bike with a de-gloving injury to follow 😑🤮)
Thanks Tim, it’s a good point you make about the watch band. I haven’t been wearing it for a few months now. It’s been retired from motorbike riding.
So, you going to give Wildwood a go? Thanks for sharing.
It’s on my list, I’m just not sure I want to trash my bike in all those rocks.
@@MileMunchinAdventures Yeah I'm the same, want to do it, but not sure I hate my bike enough to put it through that.
well done mate! seems most people in that race need log practice lol.
I’ve been taking the opportunity to go over as many logs as I can. I realise how important it is in these hard enduros. But the skill is coming along.
@@MileMunchinAdventures it is important, doesn’t take much to lose confidence on logs, some days I feel like a total gumby hitting them 🤪
Hi. Awesome video. Could you please provide a link to the tank bag you are running? Cheers
Hello Lachy, that seat bag is a prototype of a product I’ve designed and will be putting into production shortly. I’ve been testing them for the past 2 years. The brand is called Dirt Bag. When it’s launched I’ll do a video on it.
@@MileMunchinAdventures Magic, thanks
Bloody good video. Deserves a sub and a like 👍
Thank you, welcome aboard. 🙏
looks like you need to be quite fit for it as well..enjoyed it
It certainly helps, I was pretty bike fit but not riding for 3 weeks before didn’t help me.
I'm tired just watching it lol. Was this at starglen? Some great riding around here. Nice work mate
Yes it was at StarGlen, awesome riding there. I’ve stayed there twice with my family, we always love it.
Hey man, great video! I ride all the time at bonnie doon just on the other side of the bridge than this place. I've got the go pro hero 9 as well and I've got quite a few rides recorded, but I cant seem to find a good app to compile them all together. what did you use to make this video? thanks
I use Adobe Premier Pro, this only works on an Apple Mac. Thanks for watching. It’s a great place to ride.
@@MileMunchinAdventures ahhh yep, was looking into getting that just wasn't sure. ill check it out now thanks heaps!
I'm 49 also. thx for encouragement
Good to hear, get out there and get stuck into it.
man well done
Did you end up hitting the log at 16:50 on one of the later laps? :-)
No I didn’t the area under the log became easier to get through so I continued going the ‘plan B’ route. My last lap however was my quickest by far. I managed to get over every log without getting stuck once.
Yah, nah... you should have taken the sherco. 😉
Yes I should’ve, it was sitting in the trailer as a back-up.
enduro riding.. 70% riding, 30% waiting for gumbies in front of you
Too true, but there are different levels of Gumby. I’m the Gumby that’s holds some riders up and then there are Gumby’s holding me up. It all evens out, all part of racing. 😬
