Yep good day, not the most exciting trail iv been on, we left about 1:00 when the novelty wore off. The berms would good, they closed the padock with the best berm halfway through though.

I agree wuth Atomic not the most tech ride at all. But it was spot on for all the kids and beginners. Lots of CRF's and KDX types out there and you gotta have some rides for them as well.

Probably the type of trail where having a Ktm200 is at the biggest disadvantage but I shore didn't want to go any faster! It was like skipping across water waves blasting over those plowed fields!

Jeepers Rupe!! give you a perfectly good KTM and you can't handle it!
Just had to find the only bog there and dunk it in the mud didn't you!!!!

Yeah I thought I'd brought my first ktm when cheese sunk in mud over his boots to try to help me out of that bog! Still a bit of clever thinking with the logs over the bog helped. And the fact that it's ment for that sort of riding helped to get it over the stream and up the slippery bank.

really enjoyed the ride - fast top gear stuff - very smooth - could ride a lot on seat - thanks organisers

It was certainly the shortest trail ride lap that I have ever done at 11.5km and very fast even for me but my 6 year old had a blast on the kids track and even did to the shortcut on the main trail twice at the end of the day! ( once all the hero's had gone home so he didn't get roosted!! )
