    Tony, I did all the rounds of your two man series last year and I will be back again this year. They are an extremely well run event and I suggest people get to them!


    I rarely do power adventure rides simply because you don't get what you pay for, to be honest, most of his rides aren't that great although, when there's nothing else on they'll do. I don't mind paying a $40.00 fee for a ride that I know will be good.

    Cheers Van.

    At the end of the day its up to the individual. I think it costs $110 for the Desert storm ride. Thats $55 a day for a trail ride. Nick still gets 1,000 odd riders there and they have heaps of road.
    We have a little bit of road in Jolly Roosta but thats mainly to access a bloody awesome view

    IMO putting road in should only be for linking sections of track together as a last resort. The hard yards cutting tracks is so worth while when you get good feed back and also see the grins on riders faces.

    There looked to be only about 50 people at this event..

    Shame the gravel sections don't seem to be getting much shorter.
    They have working bees out there but I've never gone to one so I can't grizzle too much even though I hate gravel! V interesting about cost of lap timing KTMboy, that's not chump change. Running events certainly no get rich quick scheme.

    Rupe, I can relate to your approach re gravel, not worth the risk going ballistic to get a few extra seconds. Good result though all the same. Looks like JT did some nice work too. Noobi, you'd have to happy as well? Your riding is certainly moving ahead. Pretty consistent lap times, you rode a solid race.
