FILM
Deep Ruts On My Last Day | TNT Day 5
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This fifth day on the Trans Northern Trail follows ADVcharlie riding with a full set of bags and panniers. The focus is the effort of tackling demanding lanes after several days on the bike, and what the ride reveals about managing off-road terrain with luggage aboard.
About this film
Part of the Trans Northern Trail series, this film comes from a week-long motorcycle journey made during an unplanned break from work. ADVcharlie set out to find out how much off-road riding was manageable with all the trip’s luggage on the bike. Rather than treating the challenge as a simple measure of distance, the episode centres on the work involved in getting the loaded motorcycle through difficult lanes and on learning from that experience.
The journey
By day five, the riding accumulated over the week has begun to take its toll. The final lane proves especially demanding, leaving ADVcharlie with little energy, but the difficulty is also part of the appeal: the challenge of moving the bike through hard-going terrain. The episode stays with this balance between fatigue and the satisfaction of taking on a tough section, while testing the practical limits of riding off-road with bags and panniers. It is a stage of the Trans Northern Trail shaped by the day’s exertion and the lessons of travelling loaded.
What to expect
- A fifth-day instalment from the Trans Northern Trail
- Off-road riding with luggage and panniers aboard
