Sounds good, but not sure on the $35 to be honest.

the monster trail bike ride has been $35 for a while, the most pricey ride apart from desert storm that i have been on.
I won't be able to make it to the jolly poacher as ill be up north at the above ride. But have fun all.

Bit of everything really. You can ride the red tracks which I'd describe as non quad friendly (slow and tighter and there is a good hill climb area of a couple of hundred metres). The yellow are more wide open and fast. They inter connect at quite a few places so you can chop and change if need be.

Thanks Buddy, same to you guys. Hopefully next year the two rides don't clash. We really are spoilt for rides in this country.

At least I'm not the only one being kept from riding.

Will be back out for the trails once my knee has got a bit of strength in it.

I'm keen, reckon it'd be ok for a total n00b?

Add in you plus a couple of kids (14 and 18), fuel to get there etc etc and you can kiss good by to $175-$200 bucks for a days family riding, plus any damages and wear & tear. So the diff between $35-00 each and $25 each sometimes makes the difference between going and not!

I'll be there for sure. First Woodhill trailride of the season and a chance to ride a part of the forest that does not get used for any other events.
