Was there much mud to play in? Whats that bog like?

Not enough man, they could of had it open weeks ago, it's really really dry. That bog at the end still gives jt trouble & then theres only 1 other on the A loop with the pallet bridge that is abit tricky

Pretty dry all round Rupe. The bogs pretty near unpassable (through the middle) you have to go up a bit and around. But the rest is pretty easy even the big hill with the massive rut up it.
Dry, rutted, corrugated and hard mate! could do with a bit of wetting down to be honest! But that could all change by next weekend LOL!!

the pallet bog was easily rideable at the start of the day, but after a huge number of 450 mx hoons ( and jt ) had been through it, the ruts were getting a bit deep.... unless you were game to try ride the pallets which kinda involved bouncing your bike off a tree after having the rear end slide of a slippery piece of wood..

and the bog at the end was just how it was left before winter... i rode round it...

but it was really quite dry, lots of ruts that need cleaning up though...

took me a while to get used to the traction, had trouble keeping the front end down, funny for a 125 i know but sand is just open it up and point

Pallet Bog,
I agree with the noobie
Ill go through ....here ....
Splat / Face plant into 300mm slushy wet stickey clay ....
Wheres my bike, its seems to have vanished...
Oh here it is / submerged ...
Nothing like an extra 20kgs of ballast for the rest of the loop.
Nothing else too major

we were hanging around the water trough saw the gazebo and ktms but didnt know who it was should have gone for a closer look yep fly that flag
what gearing are you runing you your 200s? mines 13/48 think that may be part of why its so touchy in the lower gears will have to have a play with the pv to.
