    Actually looks a bit speed up but that guy can ride. Its bloody slippery out there when its like that and he was goin ok! Last KB outing it was quite a bit dryer and a lot of guys had to have more than one go at that big hill on the A loop before they made it!! Now who do we know on a Honda, renthal bars and a Chrome visor??

    So.... I'm thinking of heading down for a ride this weekend. Never been there before, just hoping the end of school holiday traffic doesn't cause problems.

    Reckon it will be a messy bog or dry?
    Anyone been lately?
    How much to get in?

    $20 for an adult
    $15 for under 15
    woman and minis are free i think

    watch the video, after rain its probably similar conditions
    bloody near unrideable unless you can ride really fast and have a very sharp tyre
    and with a big bike its even harder as it will involve lots of pushing
    honestly i wouldnt go down this weekend, do the GNCC
    let it dry out, its 100x better in the dry
    but its up to you
    we may just go where no ones been

    Cheers!
    One more question.
    If it doesn't rain from now until Sunday, you reckon it will be dry?

    yep i agree first time there was last weekend and it was dry, theres a steep downhill section on the b track that in the wet would be very nasty especialy for learners or first timers, ive been told it needs a week to dry out after rain.But when its dry its a great ride and i cant wait to go back
