    Sounds interesting. Although i've never been one to buy those "how to" DVDs it'd be cool to meet chris cos he seems like a top dude. and "all you can ride" sounds good too. $150 is a fair whack of an entry fee tho (i realise this is not your average trail ride). Is there camping available? how many people max?

    I attended one of Birchy's sessions with Jo Forsyth down in Alex last month. Well worth it & great value. Pic is Jo & Chris setting up.

    Sure is, you can camp anywhere in the paddock you want, or there is a big barn available. Max is ten people per day.

    reckon the beginners day is suitable for a novice woman? she's able to get around the trailblazers etc without tooo many crashes - thats about where shes at but definately needs someone who knows how to teach to do some teaching - i can ride fine, couldnt teach someone else to save myself

    on that note, is there much to spectate / could i come for a ride around to watch?

    i dont really fit into the n00b category and cant afford to do the next day as well

    Reckon I might have to book you sometime Chris. My mate Trev had a rocket up his a$$ on tonights ride after spending a few hours with you last week. Much improved thanks to you. I'll need to brush up on my skills to keep him behind me at this rate.


    Twice the displacement, twice the cost and a decibel problem, I'll pass on the inside brraaaap!!!

    This oppourtunity is not to be missed guy's ....

    Just sent Chris an email, Im keen!

    Have to put the money I was gonna use for a KB t-shirt back in the money box
    for now. A day with Chris would be worth 10 bloody pumice blasts and a couple of alpine express's!

    Yeah Saturday would be perfect for her, It'll all be self paced so she wont be pushed into doing anything scary. Your welcome to bring your bike and hook some laps after the day, its a good ride.
