A nice Ride open Trails [

Edit: never mind me! Been looking at an early version of the entry form. :)
Looking forward to it!

So the blurb says:
The event is open to all Pre 85’ish off road motorcycles.
... but the entry form says "Pre 85".
One version lets me ride, the other means I stay at home.
Which is correct?
Nathan ,

track almost complete one to suit all level of riders, its going to be a good weekend
-
what does dependant of rain mean??? do they become instantly impassable after 10 mm?? ;D
-
No it means No Rain No water .
And if so the Deepest may be 30cm arfter lot of rain and then on a very hard Bottom
as you can see from this Photo below its not Deep .
and when we wear there on the week end only 3 of the 6 had water in them.. and this was the Deepest .

That's the creek crossing for pussies, send 'em over the back through the swamp. I know a bloke who bogged a YZ125 up to the tank there, had to get towed out. But then again, that bloke is pretty average on a dirtbike.
-
Someone on the forum Graeme ?
-
No Graeme We are not Going any wear Near that ..
we have cut all new tracks ..
Are you coming out ....
25 have ented so far 60 is the cut off
And Do not forget Movies Saturday night on the Big screen 3mx4m under the stars ..
And The Big Brekfast on Sunday Morring for $10 with Tea or Coffee ...Nice .
-
Could have been someone from the forum... But no names OK ;)
Don't think I'll make it Dennis. Will be away the weekend before in Melbourne and then round 2 of the ACTMCC dirt track on the Sunday. Sadly that's how it often goes, nothing at all for months then heaps of events at the same time.
But Ballallaba is pretty good so anyone who does enter will have a ball. Nice little camping spot by the MX track too.
-
Yep the the first 6 k's is all new track and used alternative routes around the shity bits to make it real enjoyable :P
-
So who's coming :) :P
-
Not me unfortunately, another event clash, I'm doing the Kowen Forrest Ride.
-
I'm in

-
Cause they are. All the water is lying on Fairbairn Park ;D

Will come if ACT DT round two cancelled.
Date clashes are a bummer - the TT's fully sorted now and gets along very well. But can't do two events in two days.

At Dt its only 1 day of riding you will get 3 round of 3 1/2 laps .
Now the track is 800meters long Now i think that adds up a total of 8.4 km
Now at a Vinduro you get 2 days riding .
You Can Ride when ever you want and as much as you want or as little as you want .
You could do and around 100km of Riding over the 2 day if you want .
all for $60 I know what I doing ....
-
That's true Dennis, but then again, I can hold the YZF WFO and get 'er sideways at DT and that's a mighty addictive feeling, even if I am lucky to beat last place. As for handbrakes Ekka... No. And I don't wear pants either. I think Twisty's the same.
But you're right - the vinduro at Balltearer Springs should be great fun, it's a nice little spot.

These type of events offer plenty of riding for the entry fee ......excellent value I believe.
Very pleased to have these opportunities to have a real good weekend of riding on my 2 old bikes.
(a big thanks to all those involved in making these events happen)
Great to see more of these type of events in NSW..... at long last .
Make the effort to get along to a few , if you can , so , hopefully , they can continue .
Trails look good for this one :D

Steve

Entry sent today
Sounds like it will be a good week-end of riding
-
I received this message via email today.
You cannot help the wet weather we have been receiving and the much needed rain is good for the land. The forecast of possible cancellation from Marion complete with notifications on Thursday is really pro active.

Hi Vinduro Entrants:
Flagging possible cancellation of weekend 12/13th Vinduro at Ballallaba Springs due to rain. We have had a lot of rain to date and unfortunately for our Vinduro Event, Thursday and Friday heavy rain is forecast.
This is an early alert for those who are travelling long distances....
I will contact you again on Thursday night for a definite Yes or No, so please check your emails and text messages - I will send it to both.
Regards,
Marion

I received this email this afternoon
Cheers

Hello Vinduro riders:
Unfortunately we have to cancel this weekend's event at Ballallaba. Wet conditions have created access problems and track problems.......
Our apologies all round and we will see you in drier conditions.
Regards, Marion
-
All roads lead to Conondale?
-
That's a shame. I know the hard work the Heaven guys put in so we all could have a wobble around. Well done guys. Champions ;D
Hard to believe there's a drought. That's 4 out of the last 5 Heaven meets canned because of rain. Lucky we have plenty of them.
-
4 out of the last 5 ??? steady on Ted
3.5 out of last 13 I believe
10 events 2013 (1.5 washed out)
3 events to date 2014 (2 washed out)
If you go back over time it is just lately that we have had a bad run
2011 no washout (one dusted out from memory)
2012 10 events - (no washouts)
2013 10 events - (1.5 washouts first event and half of the last)
2014 3 events to date - (2 wash outs) bugga :o
Hope that is our quota for a while :-X
-
Heaven have a commendable record for running meetings in the wet , i remember numerous events that were run in atrocious conditions and were real fun. Some of the early Crawford River Classic's were just that, Classic events in those wet conditions. I guess it just depends on the track . The rural folk are revelling in the current conditions, its braking the drought in some areas.
Plenty of time to catch up and rec. ride in the bush
-
Bummer , was looking forward to riding a new venue .
Look forward to Canowindra Vinduro for the next opportunity to ride the old bikes ...was a great ride last year !
Regards ,
Steve

We've had a good run allright. I just meant since they've been talking about the drought again....last 6 months.
-
