Fark that place will be a mud pit haha. I think I'll be waiting till the weather dry's out a bit before going there.

[Reckless]

Agreed! I can't walk across the lawn let alone go there! I don't mind the mud but a day paddling my bike, feet either side of the seat with the rear spinning would not be my choice.

Secondly have you had it confirmed by them they may choose not to open if its still really wet.

[cheese]

MUDFEST! Maybe wait a little longer though.......

Lets go down on the 7th then (Sun), if we get a few days of it not raining the main tracks should be dry, just a few good bogs to play in.

Who else is keen, Aaron, lloyd?????

doesnt the big loop take about two months of dry weather to be rideable???:blink::blink:
one of my mates went there right before it closes for the winter and it took him 3 hours i think to do the big loop:mellow::mellow::blink:

ill probaly come out if someone can confirm the date and it hasnt been raining for a week, havent ridden all winter so maybe just do the little loop and get some riding in:rockon:

Can't see the B loop taking that long to dry, cheese can you remember when danger dave first went down??? Sure it will be wet in some places, and the A loop will have some testing bits through the trees. But if you go at your own pace and and wait for someone if you get stuck it will be sweet. If it rains when your out there it can be a different story, but if a few of us go it won't be a prob.

Weather looks good down there for the rest of the week, maybe someone can ring and post up what the score is towards the end of the week.

shit 3 hrs what was he riding on slicks??
mud just makes it more of a challenge helps improve your riding skills.
It dose pay to watch your braking points other wise you end up havin to low side it in to the fences or go over the top although this could just be me every now and few trying to take corners a little to quick.

Same here Barty5. We took a couple hours one day to do the B loop. The clay was so bloody slick you couldn't get enough traction to even stand. As I said above the back was spinning, the front pushing with no traction at all and all you could do was sit on the seat and paddle with your feet. Mind you the Ktm is the type of bike that would handle it a bit better. Your 4 stroke would be better than the cr125 my boy had and even my old cr250 2smoker. they where just not the correct bikes for that day. Not enough torque. It wasn't fun believe me, dunno why he said we could even ride there.

[cheese]

Took us 1 1/2 when The tree tried to steel my bike...... fucking tree........

[cheese]

yeah dam you rupert, you've got it sorted by getting Nicki a bike........

Personally I think it will be still too wet at thunder. Be nice to have a change from the sand though.

[mattwood]

cant even walk on our front lawn at the moment, you start sinking..

Riding could be a challenge, sounds good tho.. im keen to go up to woodhill and try that out. Just need to sort myself out a van of my own, then ill be off :niceone:

Yeah, I'll be sweet to go riding. Looks like it will be you thats not aloud out to play!!


It wasn't a bad move getting the mrs a bike cheese, although have to find a b'bsitter everytime now. Unless anyone knows of a cheap side-car for sale.


The guy down there (James, I think) always seems pretty honest about the track condition so maybe we'll just give him a call closer to the time.

[noobi]

when were making fun of cheese for the tree :jerry:
was he the guy who tried to ride between two trees and did his ankle in?? almost broke it but the boot saved him???:second::pinch:
because i went there just after that happened and everyone was done there trying to sort it out
just wondering is all:shifty::shifty:

[cr125nz]

spoke to james today and hes not open monday or tuesday but rest of the week is all go and hes bulldozed the tracks so they are alot more better and not as brutal best to just ring but eveytime ive been out there riding in the pissing down rain hes just let me go for it at least it is better than kimmys if the rain stays away it should be mint by the time its ready

[4stroke]

if its wet im deffinatly in, even if i have to grovel to the owner to let me play in the mud, i might take half the nobs off my tires to make it a bit harder so its more fun........

[theblacksmith]

well its open from the 3rd sept so who wants to rock along and and go for a ride
well its open from the 3rd sept so who wants to rock along and and go for a slide lol

[cheese]

Na i didn't nearly break my ankle, it was my thumb and mostly my pride that got hurt. I slid down a greasy hill and hit a tree, twisted my front end up a bit and face planted over the bars.

Looking back it must have been fucking funny to watch.

[cr125nz]

hey blacksmith im keen to go

me coming along and giving your front wheel a boot while your hands were still on them later probably didnt help your thumb lol.

on the getting the mrs a bike note, it was the best thing i ever did. she loves it and now i dont get bitched at about how much time and money i spend on bike shit
