Fark that place will be a mud pit haha. I think I'll be waiting till the weather dry's out a bit before going there.

Agreed! I can't walk across the lawn let alone go there! I don't mind the mud but a day paddling my bike, feet either side of the seat with the rear spinning would not be my choice.

Secondly have you had it confirmed by them they may choose not to open if its still really wet.

Lets go down on the 7th then (Sun), if we get a few days of it not raining the main tracks should be dry, just a few good bogs to play in.

Who else is keen, Aaron, lloyd?????

sounds good who cares its only a bit a mud beats the sand and it sticks better to all those who are following me just ask 4stroke

doesnt the big loop take about two months of dry weather to be rideable???

one of my mates went there right before it closes for the winter and it took him 3 hours i think to do the big loop

ill probaly come out if someone can confirm the date and it hasnt been raining for a week, havent ridden all winter so maybe just do the little loop and get some riding in

Can't see the B loop taking that long to dry, cheese can you remember when danger dave first went down??? Sure it will be wet in some places, and the A loop will have some testing bits through the trees. But if you go at your own pace and and wait for someone if you get stuck it will be sweet. If it rains when your out there it can be a different story, but if a few of us go it won't be a prob.

Weather looks good down there for the rest of the week, maybe someone can ring and post up what the score is towards the end of the week.

shit 3 hrs what was he riding on slicks??
mud just makes it more of a challenge helps improve your riding skills.
It dose pay to watch your braking points other wise you end up havin to low side it in to the fences or go over the top although this could just be me every now and few trying to take corners a little to quick.

Same here Barty5. We took a couple hours one day to do the B loop. The clay was so bloody slick you couldn't get enough traction to even stand. As I said above the back was spinning, the front pushing with no traction at all and all you could do was sit on the seat and paddle with your feet. Mind you the Ktm is the type of bike that would handle it a bit better. Your 4 stroke would be better than the cr125 my boy had and even my old cr250 2smoker. they where just not the correct bikes for that day. Not enough torque. It wasn't fun believe me, dunno why he said we could even ride there.
