No man! mud is ok for a bit, but not like 400 km of it! anything less than 300 km isnt a ride, but a jollie patrollie.
Off roading is about scenery, technical riding, some mud, some sand, ruts, potholes, corrugation, thirst, heat, dust er well misery But at least variety in the misery  ____________________ 2011 KTM 990 Dakar

Learn to embrace the mud.
It's not just about distance, unless you're riding purely to tick boxes .
My first enduro was done on a silly wet course - quite a bit was foot+ deep mud. The 690 with a trials tyre on the rear did really well considering a lot of people on proper enduro bikes were dropping out - high gearing + thumper gives decent traction. |
