Come on Graeme you will get your money worth of riding , if you haven't been to one yet trust me you will want more . They are great fun and you might wanna drag gezza along too
-
Oh, I know they are fun, I've done a couple of Rockleys. But every away trip I've planned this year has had to be cancelled due to weather or family commitments. I really want to do this one, and as long as nothing comes up, Gezza and I will be there.
Bring it on.
-
We'z up for it Ekka, after having road (trail) tested both our vinduro bikes at ballallaba springs a few weeks ago. Macca's IT175 and my TT250 took a day's worth of punishment it their strides, so we're good to go.

Did ride the new loop or the old one
-
Will be healed by then.
Might see if I can avoid the Bush/Rock landscaping this time.
-
At ballallaba Ekka? We just rode around whatever trails we could find, probably mostly the old ones but they'd been freshly dozed so pretty rough and ready.
-
I am dead keen, I just have to get the TS bolted back together. Will only be a day trip for me though as I have family commitments on the Sunday (unless I can convince SWMBO that a "camping" trip is in order). Will this be the last one for the year??
Regards
Paul

Paul,look at the thread before this one,(hint,it's capitalized ),should answer your question??,(unless your shmbo says otherwise ;D), :P
-
What are you guys doing to me, the next one is her birthday :-\........
-
Cool I'll be home for a couple of days than I'll make the trip over
-
What are you guys doing to me, the next one is her birthday :-\........
And She would Love you out of the house for the week end ..
She could watch all the Girl movie she wants to with all of her Girl frends .
She can Pump the Heater up 26 and your Not Home to Tell her to turn it down .

No house work to do because it will stay clean because you are a way ...
It would be the Best gift you could give your wife ....You out of the House Rideing Bike with your Mates ..

A great event held in a central NSW location.

Very clever Dennis and I just didn't want them to start "Waling" if there was a height restriction
-
That would Be a Beach ..ing

The Vinduro team have been listening to you riders and Will be given you a choice
of H hard or E Easy .

A few of the Boys that came up Last year said it was One of the best Vinduro's in
N. S.W. as you say good fun with no Pressure on riding ability. is there plenty of
camping room Area Still trying to work out $$ for one more trip away this year..
After you guys made the Effort to come to Harrow Which was great..
The Stig
-
Plenty of camping area Stig. The Vinduro committee will bend over backwards, and sometimes forward, to make sure EVERYBODY has a great time. They welcome comments good and particularly bad. If you are not enjoying yourself they want to know so as they can rectify it. Heaven Vinduros are all about fun, fun, fun.
Get a couple of buddies, split the cost and get up there. The loop is cut in, making it easy to navigate and the course is really easy with no surprises. Enjoy
-
Umm Ted not sure were you sent your entry but we have not received one from you at this stage :o
-
I can't be in Canowindra and Port Augusta at the same time. ;)
-
Yeh Ted your right plenty of camping and we will do our best to give you a great weekend.Been out today and added a bit more to the loop a nice little extrabit .Should be good .I cant wait .....Cheers Greg

Bring it on!

When you've had as much coffee as him, he starts making perfect sense.
-
I just think it's a shame to have such an early start Sunday. I don't think that coffee shop opens early on Sundays, so where am I gonna get my latte and croissant before the riding starts?

Yep, she was a top weekend alright. The weather gods smiled for a change and gave us a perfect two days of sun, clear skies and mild temps. In fact I even raised a sweat!
Dennis and crew designed a very nice loop of something like 10-15km - a little of everything including some open trails, tight single track with plenty of switchbacks, some great little gully sections which were moist and tacky but not wet, and some nice elevation changes.
It was a perfect mix for me - probably around 25 minutes a lap so, enough time to get a workout but not so long as to wear me out. The IT175 pulled two head studs loose but with a bit of care I was able to keep it running all weekend though by the last lap it did sound a bit second hand. Looks like a top end rebuild is due...
Everywhere I looked I saw smiling faces and happy campers. I don't think there were any major dramas or injuries to speak of. Blokes were happy to stand around and talk, catch up or just watch the proceedings as much as get out on the trail. A real good vibe buzz was apparent through the whole weekend.
I am not that fit and found that one lap was enough, then back to the pits for a spell before knocking off another. The guy pitted next to me though - he headed out on his trusty XR250 and reeled off 6 quick laps in one go! Respect from me.
The best thing though was just checking it all out. Lazing under a pitshade, cooling down after a fun lap and just watching the whole scene. It looked like 1982 all over again - PEs, ITs, Huskies, KDXs and KTMs, even a Can Am Sonic. And seemed like a LOT of prolink XR Hondas.
The track started out as a couple of short gully sections below the pits, then a fun little squirt across a paddock with nice loamy soil to hook into before a short hill section which led to the best little twisty hillclimb through some tight-ish switchbacks, all the while carving through lovely thick topsoil. And that was pretty much how the next 10km unfolded. How nice is that???
Full marks from me - thanks to everyone who helped organise it all and thanks to everyone who came along, rode and had a ball.

Twin shock DT125 - this gentleman obviously has fine taste in vinduro motorcycles.
Love the neat XL350 too.
Looks like it was a terrific event.

Now the Loop was made up of 4 parts and all 4 parts had Hard and Ezy Loops
this gave rides a choice to ride . Many did use both Hard and Ezy ..
-
Rode all the hard which was easy, on my last lap pushed myself over the limit and pasted 7 riders in 21 minutes . Was Was that Frando sitting on his ass in the grass :o , looks like nothing changed ;)
-
must have a been a nap spot...for the older riders ;D
-
The 'hard' bits out on the course were fun but the 'easy' bits were longer. I did a mix of both, I think it was the 3rd easy bit that was a nice little blast down the side of a grassy hill with a sharp left and back up to the course proper, while the 4th easy bit was a cool little swoopy run along a creek bed. It was ALL fun...
-
Once again, a great weekend of riding & socialising made possible by the Heaven Vinduro Team & supporters & of course Pete, the property owner, for allowing us to use his perfect Vinduro venue. There was something for everyone that attended. Thanks guys, you have a winning formula.

I Got from Don Thomas Rideing a Dt 250
A sneak view of some of the Canowindra Vinduro track, excuse the shaking bits - 5" of suspension isn't ideal for this terrain Share ยท 11 mins
If I get this right we have a link to a short video of parts of the track:

A much improved loop with plenty enough terrain & section options to keep everyone happy .
I really tried for the 15 laps on the Saturday , but could not get them all in by course closing time.
Really good job with the course layout , I thought
Regards ,
Steve

First time at Canowindra and at a Vinduro, thanks to all involved in setting up, organising and making it such a great weekend, also great company to be with.
The XL350 was a hand full and the tiddler DT125 didn't even go 100 meters before stopping, putting the little girl away tonight, I realised I had the fuel turned off :-[. Look forward to the next one.
Cheers and Thanks.
