Meet New Zealand's laid-back extreme enduro rider

Chris Birch was born to ride enduro. It’s an overused cliché, sure, but in this case, entirely apt. When li’l’ Chris came kicking and screaming into the world, almost 30 years ago, his father was riding in the International Six Day Enduro (ISDE), one of the world’s oldest off-road motorcycle events. That’s right, Pete Birch missed the delivery of his first-born to ride his bike. What’s more, Chris’ motorbike-mad mother, Jo, had given Pete her full blessing to be absent. They were different times of course, but the kid never really stood a chance, did he? He was always going to be a bike rider.
