Top Trailrider Enduro Riverhead Forest, 6 March

[billaroo]

For those that have never done an Enduro this is the perfect opportunity- just like a trailride with some special test chucked in.
Novice class for the real noobies.

[noobi]

im going, although not in the novice class :P

[billaroo]

im going, although not in the novice class :P

made that class especially for you too...

[flyingcr250]

i will most probably be there.

[oldguy]

Id love to have a go, but has come at the wrong time for me, money wise.

I see on the flyer it says no trail riders. Yet it also says top trail rider. What skill levels do you require? and how long is the ride?

[vazza]

It's skinner on the header!! I have to go on Sunday

not sure if i'll go to both..

[takitimu]

Will miss it :(, hope the event goes well, it was a great ride last year.

I see on the flyer it says no trail riders. Yet it also says top trail rider. What skill levels do you require? and how long is the ride?

it means you have to enter the event and cannot trailride behind it- modest skill levels only required- about 4 hrs.

[billaroo]

Are you sure he was sober?
ummmmm...no.

[D dub]

Ill be ther for sure.
Its a pitty its so dry though!!

[flyingcr250]

dont you dare do any rain dances!! ha ha ha

[noobi]

An awesome event, very cool terrain tests, although a bit too much gravel road for my liking but hey, not much can be done about that. The small amount of rain was good to keep the dust down in the morning, pity it didnt last.


If any of the WMCC sweep riders found a black rubber GasGas bar pad, youll know it if you see it, I lost it somewhere on the loop with the tunnel bridge, I think....O_o I know its not very likely to be found, but it would be cool to get it back
As for the new bike the pad came off, I found it was alot easier to ride the 200 in the tight stuff as it feels exactly like my 125, same flickability, just moar power, just used 3rd most of the time. I also fell off less, which was good as my test times went up about 10 spots from the last rounds. Id like to think I kept Steve honest...

[vazza]

Shot dale!! Sounds good manz.

[flyingcr250]

well that was a hoot! my section times are pretty consistant, had a crash on one of the metal road sections on the last lap, ended up over cooking a corner and going down a bank.
moved up a few spots in the overall, shame about loosing 1minute on the last lap due to my crash. riverhead is awesome in the dry lol

haha dale your section times were faster than mine.

i think i still like x-countrys better than enduros though......

Damn, that looks fast! Feel kinda sorry for the guys that he catches up with. No mercy. Thats racing though!

[Rupe]

looks cool, whens the next event?

[tommorth]

looks bloody fast looks to be a bit of a lesson there in the passing no slowing down just control

[billaroo]

Some more action.
