    Yep great ride also did 4 laps mix of A and B loops. 4 riding buddies and me. Also good to catch up 4stroke glad your fit and well again and to meet JYT.
    The young guy had the tape up at 3:30ish to close off but he put it down and let us through! Much to the disgust of one of the guys on a quad on the way through. But we where back and packed way before the last third of the car park was empty!! So 4 of us did a "flat out" last B loop that was a rush. Was getting a bit chewed up by then but we just nailed it. No one in the way great loop, great day, great coarse, much better than those open fast nontechnical ones.
    Good job Scott!! Twice a year sounds good to me mate!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    i was the guy on the quad , and it would have been a bit earlier than 3.30, was mroe like 2.45, i tend to start being quite grumpy around that time,

    bit of drama at the end when one of the sweep crew ended up in a creek and needed a helicopter, in one of the last paddocks from home, made for a long day

    the Paparimu School are looking at running thier own trail ride in approx april/may for more fundraising, it will not be part of our series or run by us but i will post the date up here,

    Was a very cool ride. Got in that traffic jam by that hill climb and had a bit of trouble with the start of it. Good ridin with Courts, made me keep my pace up. Was exhausted by the end of the day and tried the jump at the end not realising it was over a creek, went way too slow and hit the bank. Only some brusing tho and got help to lift the bike out of the creek. Thanks to Scott and the crew for a sweet day

    Ha! Did the same thing at that drain, xen. Slowed right down for a better look and only saw the distance to cross at the last moment. Gassed it, but landed on the edge of other side.

    Yeh that was a good ride and well done to the school and Mr Motorcycles for a well run day. Im normally following my son around the Motox tracks around the country so it was great to fit a trailride in with the young fella. If i beeped you with my horn i apologise.

    Thanks to Scott and the team for a great day, good mix of terrain plenty of climbs and downhills, way to check out the revalved forks-thanks danger- is awesome.
    Xen found the ditch on the last lap , bugger, but no damage and all left exhausted and happy.

    Was that the last two smooth paddocks, first one long enough to pin it through 4 gears. Hold on for the speed wobble as you went through the ruts at the gate, in to top and flat out through second paddock then hard on the brakes for that dusty left hander before the hill up to the pits. That was fun mate!
