Do I need to register with their payment provider, having trouble with my credit card authorisation, and no it's not over the limit!!

Give them a call and explain your problem. They are more than helpful type people

First day was ruined by a dead battery. Still managed to get out for 5 sessions but bike was running like crap. Dropped from medium slow to novice.

Second day was fantastic. New battery and the bike was running good. Stuck with medium slow and had some fun.

You look like you've done a few days now. How was the novie group vs the medium slow? Brooke and I were wanting to go this year but didn't have our shit sorted. I wanted to see what mums Duke 200 could do. Would have been a hoot.

A lot more people in the group (they managed to overbook it) and the riding can be unpredictable and a few of them should have been in novice.

The Duke 200 would be great fun!

I thought this would have been the case. Always gonna get some "hero's" though.
