Bikes have to be >150kg.
3 down in a car/trailer / van shouldn't work out too bad.

I think our plan is to ride there
We'll make five or six days of it probably and carry on some of the trails after the event ...
Lots of you tube clips. Looks good ..
All very well for you chaps with Exxon Valdez sized fuel tanks... 11 litres will mean a fair few fuel stops!
A group of us did the pyrenees a couple of years ago, two of us flew, and those that drew the short straw trailered the bikes down. 
it was a long old slog by all accounts ... and whilst they took it in turns to drive a landy, even laying on the back seat nobody slept. (took them about 18 hours I think ..)
But yes - getting there and back on a 690 or under is going to be a pain in the arse. (litterally ... !)

I know that the >150kg requirement doesn't rule out a lot of 600/650 singles but the 690 is too light!
That would factor out the XChallenge as well if looking at pie in the sky dry weights.
Have emailed to ask how strict they are on the weight limit issue.
Hi Guys,
I just posted an official note for the Hardalpitour 2014
Bikewise any single cylinder dual sport (X-Challange, 690, 625, Terra, and so on) are very welcome. 150 kg is indicative to exclude light enduro/competition bikes! If you have an old XR600 is also good!
PM any time or write to nicola.deliguori@over2000riders.com
Ciao

On the list of things to do! Not sure my riding skill are up to it but I would love to do it on my 650GS twin!
Terrains are manly compact and dry. Few tricky passages...but always the option of cutting via tarmac. The real challange bit is the endurance aspect of it...
Check the video here...

Off road tyres are indispensible (TKC are ok!) and supplements lights help big deal!!!!
Other than that standard bikes and a large ammount of Redbull will do!!!!

Anybody looking for additional team members!
Hi all,
If anybody needs a spare bod and bike to make a team, please let me know!
I'm a keen amateur riding a GS8, with a general feel for off roading. Having four kids I'm used to being sleep deprived and can fit plasters to any cuts or grazes
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,
There are already 2 UK teams looking for a third rider...drop me a PM or email me on nicola.deliguori@over2000riders.com

PS I thought over 10 years of intense on call shift were the best training for endurance riding...I was wrong! Children keep you much fitter for night riding...

I did it last year... do it! Its a great experience.
Just remember there is never such a thing as too much light. Get yourself a couple 50w HID units.
