[noobi]

Im gonna do it in the ironman class. Rather ride 2.5 hours in on go, than 1.5 hours on and off

Well I found out a brand new m204 and to much gravel roads dont mix to good, there is nothing left of the rear tyre, the track was quite flowing but disapointed with the amount of gravel roads some of the bush sections were realy cut up.

$40 for juniors for max 45 mins riding or solo $45 for 1 hour... real incentive to take the kids along NOT!
Didn't go... was it well patronised? Other places to be today.. some half the price for a whole days riding!!!

Yeah the amount of gravel did my head in. I'm not keen on a big crash and have to go to work self employed, so don't push hard on it. Just pisses you off when you get past people in the bush only to have the fly past on the gravel. All part of racing I guess, but if I knew so much would of been gravel I'd of not bothered going.

I was keen to come down and ride today but I went to the Cambridge Clubday instead.. Good ride.


Anyway, I think I am going to have to come to the next round. May 9th isn't it?

Was it a Power Adventures Ride??

Was it a Power Adventures Ride??

Hahahaha too true.

[Reckless]

Actually it was a genuine question LOL!!
But looking at the results since my question, looks like there was 80 entries where scott411 had 415!
Appears to me anything over $30 bucks each and people start voting with their feet and don't go.
I just wonder if he dropped his prices $10 bucks to the Mr Moto level, he would make a shit load more money because of increased entries???
Mind you from the comments here doesn't look like the coarse was very good either?
Seems to me Power adventures and Kimmis farm seem to be in the same basket?

I'm not defending these prices but there are added expenses associated with lap scored racing that you guys are not privy too. For example it cost us nearly $1600 per round for the computer lap score equipment and personal. Plus any race /ride in Woodhill that is out side The Kawasaki Sandpit gets hit with a per bike rider fee.

Scott doesn't have these expenses for a maize paddock race. Although I suspect that he still makes a per bike donation to most cockies to cover for damage to the land.

Note; There will be virtuall no road in our 2 Man Series, July, August and Sept. Just new tracks!!!
