Hi Ants, can't make it tomorrow. But i did spend the day at scargill doing the trail riding part at the Beta enduro championship round today. It was a fantastic day -2 when we got there @ 8am and stayed slippery all first lap. Had some refreshments and back out, much easier this time and far more fun. I was on the Beta and my son on the WR, he spent the day Marshalling and didn't ride as much as he hoped.
Have a great day all who go and post up a ride report please

Hi Guys

I put this is the wrong place so copied

Went riding today at the Whiterock Trail Ride, 7 awesome Enduro deviations.

It was fundraiser for North Loburn School and with 671 riders the school will receive a huge boost for funding, very pleasing.

Open paddocks of speedies and tight enduro deviations for us slowbies

Awesome ride, awesome weather, lots of swearing.

Was the best trail ride I have been on in ages

Nice pics Paul. I wish i was there as that looks like fun, but i had other stuff to do. Truth is i was also a bit knackered from Saturday and probably would have struggled

We I don't have an excuse I struggled anyway but lots of swearing helped

Yes it was fun though, you would have enjoyed it

These rides are on private land so you can't use the track / trails at any other time...

We managed todo 3 laps- all enduro deviations- but…that bloody up hill… (last photo in your post)….I tried to get up it 5 times…different laps……not happy….stuffed it up every time….had to take the cheat. Nothing worse than seeing ya mate at the top- doing the lion king thing- hands in the air- only to then attempt- and fail fail…fail….fail

During the first lap we mist the cut across the swamp….buried the front and over I went…...dam it was deep.…20min later we managed to get the bikes out and back track.
Later on that day I rode past a few guys in the same position…they also mist the turn off- buried….made me laugh!

Appreciate the effort- big thanks to the organisers.

Good post Ants, sounds like you had your work cut out for you. Looking at Pauls position on the bike going up that hill would most likely be a fail from me as well.
PS if your thinking of upgrading to something a little more powerful, test ride a 300 2t very light and easy to live with power wise. You just might like it. If you like a lower seat the Beta is lowest.

Hi Guys

Was talking the Jeff last night up at Whiterock for the North Loburn School fundraiser trail ride, They were hoping for 300 riders but ended up with 671 needless to say they are blown away with the success .

The huge numbers and support of the event means that the North Loburn school now has $24000.00 to help with projects, that is complete awesomeness from any angle .

Jeff says thanks to all for your support.

Big thumbs up all round.

Having only ever done the Suzuki trails, was interesting to see the difference.....from sign in to the way the track was marked out - I thought it was well organised.

671 riders...fantastic- glad we could help..
