About this film
ADVcharlie is riding around the world on a modified KTM 790 Adventure S. The episode centres on an invitation from KTM Ecuador to take part in the Andes Rider Challenge, a roadbook event described as a day of off-road navigation rather than a race. The event gives this chapter a clear focus within the larger journey: following a navigation challenge while travelling through Ecuador. The account also shifts from the ride itself to the consequences of a major crash for the motorcycle and the onward trip.
The journey
The ride takes place in Ecuador, where the Andes Rider Challenge puts navigation at the centre of a full day off road. During the event, Charlie gets lost and begins to doubt himself. He then has what he describes as the biggest crash of his life, damaging the KTM to the point that he is unsure whether he can continue the round-the-world trip. The episode’s story is therefore tied both to a specific riding event and to the uncertainty created by damage to the bike; it remains part of the broader South American journey.
What to expect
- A roadbook navigation event in Ecuador, framed as a challenge rather than a race.
- Off-road riding and the difficulty of getting lost during the event.
- A major crash, bike damage and uncertainty about continuing the journey.
