Was there on Thursday evening. Bit dusty, and hard packed.

Sat arvo is the set up for the TMCC racing for the following day. Sunday there is racing all day on the track for the 1st round of the club events.

was there on sunday before last.
Yep, dusty, hard and fast if you're out front. Good easy riding out on the big loops. Still some big deep ruts in places but easily navigated around.
The dust there is really fine. You'll be cleaning your filter and doing oils etc after a day there. I even found some of that orange dust in my carb!.... oops.
I'm quite the noob but loved it all the same.
Oh yeah.... saw a 50cc pw with maybe an 8 year old on the 18km loop and he did make it!!!

If it's been raining I wouldn't suggest it, last time we went there mid winter it hadn't been raining for a day all three of us fell off about 3 times on our first laps haha

Good I'm looking forward to a challenge. I hope its more exciting than I found Thundercross.

Has Maddix Park got any big hills?

[EXCDirt]

There's 1 big downhill... Well steep and quite slippery when wet. (Long loop)
Then the last uphill on the 18km loop aswell back up to the Mx track.
That orange clay is the most slippery surface next to a wet bare tree root.

Wow 3 offs in one lap.... you are pros.... I must have done a whole lap sliding on my head/shoulder, in the wet. Kinda that slipery that your "Ground slides" are like a tobogan ride.

Excellent, just what I need. I'm in training for the hill climb on a Rat Bike myself and geestring are building.

Was there last weekend and it was great. Will be slippery after this rain but the tracks are in good condition.
