Stark at the NZ Hard Enduro Champs, Judds Farm

[happyinmotion]

Super scenic day at the final round of the NZ Hard Enduro Championships, 30 November 2024, at Judds Farm in Wellington, Aotearoa.

Almost four hours riding, 29 km, 2000 metres of climbing. The bike could have done another 15 km. I couldn't.

I won my category but my category was "old men who can't ride good".

What beautiful diverse landscape! Gorgeous. Thanks for posting.

Wow! This looks like a walk-in-the-park "hard enduro"! Love it!

Which camera and which settings did you use?

Yeah, we're pretty spoilt in NZ for landscapes.

This was the bronze course so not that hard. Let's call it "medium enduro".

I wasn't filming when I got lost and took some of the silver course. That was plenty harder and taught me that I'm not a silver class rider. The gold course was nuts, as always.

Camera was Insta Go3S, megawide view, auto on most settings. Beautiful picture quality and I have the choice of just the tiny camera pod with short battery life or use the whole thing for good battery life.

Beautiful landscapes, just one question: where did all the sheeps go?

Probably hiding from all those noisy smelly petrol bikes.

I see so many wild goats while out on the Stark. If you're into hunting then it would be ideal, just need a rack of some kind.

I have had an Insta Go3 for the last 1.5 years, recording mostly work stuff. Recently I realized the work stuff is best recorded on my work cell phone! So the Insta camera will now be going onto my chest protector!
