About the Event
The dust is probably still settling out there on the trail. Yes, the first XPLOR event, 'XPLOR the Pines' dual sport ride is now over. Over seventy five riders hit the trail and motored through New Jersey's Pine Barrens, barreling over and through everything from wide gravel roads, deep sandy tracks, whooped out fire cuts, and cylinder-deep puddles that looked more like miniature lakes.
The highlight of the weekend was getting expert off-road riding tips from Paris Dakar third place finisher Jimmy Lewis and his wife Heather. There was also a catered dinner Saturday night where several prized were raffled off, including a Garmin BMW Navigator III GPS, a set of Pirelli tires, several copies of "The Long Way Round" DVD and book, as well as a BMW Rallye enduro suit. Jack O'Connor and his crew from the Pine Barons Enduro Riders provided logistical support, guide services, and downloadable GPS coordinates which made everyone's ride go smoothly. Thanks to them and everyone else who made this event so successful!
Check back on XPLOR to see when and where the next XPLOR event will happen and happy trails to all!
