Yes it was a great day CR-We got 2x40km loops in and a couple of the smaller ones.First time round the 40km I did the Expert loop (which added bout 10 kms to it).
Was very tight in some spots and quite steep - but all in all was quite grippy and good fun(and a workout).Plenty of tree roots were exposed on the second run and the corners started to berm up nicely by then as well.If it rains tonight - that should make the clay sections a bit more interesting tomorrow I'd say.
Definitely a "do again ride" for sure.Got to meet Pierce and his brother as well.Anyone else off KB go there today?
PS Dave -can u post some pics of the view up mate?

Did both days down there .The 40 km loop was mint had
a good mix of all sorts. Quite a challange on a quad

That was fun....I found the expert loop a bit "challenging" especially the bloody steep downhill (for some reason I dislike downhills, something to do with endoing the bike once) and just wish we had enough time to get around a third time.
The track was good with a few roots starting to come out of the ground but not enough to make it difficult and there was plenty of space, nothing like the traffic of some farm rides!
