The essence Andy ponders on adventure-riding motivation.

Why does the photo never show just how steep the track is?

Is the essence of adventure hooning or exploring?
Do we ride adventure bikes:
A) To help us poke into those places a road bike won’t get to and enjoy the solitude, hiding from the Catherine-wheel of modern life? Or
B) Is it to push our skill and endurance, challenging ourselves to the limits of our chosen steed’s design?
Answer:
C) All of the above.
