I didn’t really know what to expect but the average bike was a KTM300 or smaller. A lot of farm land, mud, sand, some ramps, forest drives. A lot of fun! And really really tiring!

This event was called https://offroadveghel.nl/event-2026

I was surprised to see only a few “big” bikes so for all people our there in doubt; go for it!

Looks like a lot of fun. I imagine most people stick to the small bikes, because you're probably not going that fast anyways and the light weight makes it eays to play in the mud.

but it's so rewarding showing up on a big bike and doing everything the little 250 enduro machines are doing

I was doing 70-80 kmh at some of the harder patches and was regularly overtaken by guys going mucccch faster. Was surprised by the difference. Also saw some guys flying ; ending in a field or the water hahaha.
