Good video Dennis ,
Obviously none of the riders in the photos / video had a good time

or maybe they do not frequent this site ?

Anyhow ; Riders circulated a 10k loop. comprised of single trail , some fast flowing sections , technical bits , a couple of little hill climbs & a slippery bog section ... .....something for everyone

.
A good range of machinery getting around . The usual XR / IT / PE / KDX models plus a couple of nice looking Montesas , an immaculate & great sounding TT500 , a few KTMs and an Ossa plus , of course , plenty of examples of fine Husqvarna bikes

Did see a few cameras about ...... Be good to see a few more pics
.

Regards ,
Steve

Why is it I come away from every vtr rally thinking "Best Yet"? And putty putty valley putt putt was no exception. Already a great little tight course, with a few 'extras' this years track additions just made 'great' 'greater'. While only 10 km in length it is quite tiring once you build up a few laps as there only occasional short 'rest' sections and if you choose "the hill" optional section then there is the bonus adrenalin to burn.
While not smooth, it isnt rough and rocky (except about 200 mtr up the hill climb) so even old raty bikes like my DT 175 twin shocker can cope for a few laps before pummeling the rider into submission.
The putty camp site is my favourite, it is flat and grassy with an open north aspect but protected 250 degs by bush and a low rise with the communal fire, toilets, showers and out door theatre tucked right in against the bush behind.

After reviewing the footage I have concluded that:
1. I had a great time
2. I am a wobbler

Great week end at Putty. The loop set out by Steve & his team was fun, interesting & suited all levels. It was clearly arrowed & easy to follow. Friday night was relaxing, with great conversation & some laughter round the camp site & fire. Saturday night some terrific prizes were given away complements from our sponsor & we now have the added twist of "guess the average age of our members", see how long it takes to guess correctly.

Congratulations once again to all her gave up their time & energy to put this fantastic event together, one of our favorite VTR locations.

B+M

Hi everyone.
First timer on any trail. Geez dont know how I got through even on the smaller loop. Not only was a wobbler but doing complete number eights on a pe250. But man it was fun still.
Thanks to all who stopped and gave me a hand or check to see all was good.

I noted the fork brace on the big bruiser, best mod I've ever seen on these.

Try to please the wobblers & faster riders with a loop that suits all, at this ride.

As long as you got around OK & had fun ; at your own pace; that's the idea .
