well, the day wasn't so good for a mate and myself.
We toiled all day the saturday to make sure that our bikes and gear were buttoned up, loaded and rtg.
Got up, picked up the mate, loaded the bikes on the trailer and left wellington by 7:10. Got to manfield at 9:20 to see someone holding up a sign saying no more bikes.
A few other people from wellington missed out too. In fact - a lot of people missed out.
So we stuck around till 12 to see if we could get on the track once a few people had left - no such luck!
That's $60 down the drain for the petrol for the trip, and a waisted saturday and sunday. Although not completely, we did have a few laughs on the way to manfield and back.
Oh well, that's the way it goes i guess
chalk it up to experience and we'll have to camp outside the gates next time
it
was good to see so many people turn out though.
It would be interesting to hear how many times people got to ride (for those who were following the rules and not class hoping).
I wonder if it could have been managed better with pre-registration (with a pre-registration fee of course)? Just a thought!!!
Is it even viable to do this?
