The final VERi event for 2015 is the Tallarook Vinduro on Sunday 8 November.
Just like last year, there will be a loop on private property and a ride using local bush tracks. Bikes using the private property loop only do not need to be registered (however a recreation licence may need to be purchased). All bikes participating on extended bush track ride must be registered (CPS, full rego, rec rego or UVP), and rider must have a valid licence.
The entry form will be available to download soon.
More info will be posted here soon. Keep checking the VERi website and Facebook page for updates too.

Anyone know if Tallarook area has received any rain at all in the last couple of days? There's been a little bit around here...

Pre-entry for the Tallarook Vinduro has now closed. You can still enter at the venue this weekend though. We hope to see as many riders as possible at this final VERi vinduro for 2015.

had a good 25mm last night and a belter of a storm this arvo, Tallarook will be perfect :-\

We've had some nagging enquiries regarding directions to the Tallarook event this weekend- sheesh, OK already. Now, while the vinduro experience begins from when you leave home to attend the ride and actually navigating to said event using rat cunning and a compass, there has been some grizzling about the amount of time and fuel consumed by the less directionally talented amongst us. So as bowing to the least talented minority seems to be the way society operates these days here are some directions to the ride site.
Take the turn off RHS onto Ennis Rd (travelling northbound on the M1 - after the Broadford turnoff). Follow Ennis Rd about 10k's to Landscape Rd. Turn left onto Landscape Rd and follow for about 5k's to the intersection with Kingston Rd. Turn left and follow to the property. The corners will be marked with arrows so keep an eye out.
With the rain this week dust won't be an issue and riding conditions ought to be awesome, and entry on the day is fine. See ya there!

A great event, and a fitting end to the VERi season! By all accounts the longer ride was a lot tougher than last year. The private property loop was just as tricky as I remembered it.
It was really good to catch up with people I know, and to meet some new recruits to vinduro as well. Top effort from all of the interstate riders who made the journey I must say. The crew from ACT really got their money's worth, they must have logged up more kilometres riding, than driving to and from Canberra!

100% in agreement, Tex. (yes i found fuel)
Was a great loop and certainly ingrained the idea of Tallarock, but added TallaAngledTreeRootOrBranchOrWhateverCrapTheCourseManCouldFindLayingAroundToMakeItHarder.
But I guess it will remain as advertised on the map.
Thanks to everyone involved from the committee to the volunteer on the day. Twas a great event. (except for that bit where the bloke stood in front of the sign with the red-plate or non directions. That threw me a bit)

Vinduro Penrite Team fully support the excellent work VERi have put into the Grand Finale of the 20156 season. We are looking forward to 2016 and will again be looking to attend several events to fly the Penrite flag and show you once again just how good VPT are.
(Due to a technical difficulty, I've had to unlink our photos. They will return shortly)

Yes, it was good. I had fun!
The closed loop was quite tricky in spots (as previously), and I shuddered every time I went up that little pinch (where I broke my foot 2 years ago!).
The forest loop was also very challenging in spots. One particular looooong, rutty down-hill track had the leg muscles (and brake cables) getting stretched to the limit. Then, the subsequent long up-hill climb, complete with large erosion mounds and hidden deep puddles, was equally a treat. I must admit, I was a bit surprised about some of the tracks that were chosen for the forest loop, but it was all good.
It was a very warm day and quite hard to get motivated after lunch and a cool down, so I tapped-the-mat around 2:30, said my good-byes and headed home.
Thanks to all those involved.
