Well guys another Cookardinia Vinduro done and dusted for 2017. A big thankyou to all that attended. We ended up with 65 riders which was pretty decent after a year off from the event with the great floods of 2016. There were at least a dozen or more no shows that would have pushed the entrants to the mid to high 70's. To those who didn't make it there's always 2018.
COOKARDINIA VINDURO 2nd JUNE 2018
As always a big thankyou to the Holbrooks Motorcycling Sports Club for supporting the event. To Murray for letting us use your amazing property and Debbie Jones and her friends for supplying lunch and dinner after the event. It was great to see people going back for seconds. To our sponsors MCA Supermarket and Whithorse Motorcylcles for supplying some awesome prizes for the raffle. I'm sure a few people came away with some goodies. To all the helpers a big thankyou, Troy Shiphard, Gary Chynoweth, for helping set up and processing registrations.
And finally a big thankyou to all that attended. I hope you enjoyed the loop. I managed to get 4 laps in myself on Saturday arvo and was buzzing with excitment after flogging my IT200 around the loop. The wooded section was very free flowing with a few obstacles thrown in for good measure.
Talking to a few guys kicking back on Saturday arvo near the fire they said "this event is different, it's relaxed and there's no pressure to get laps done for a gold sticker". I said " Exactly no pressure, that's what Cooka has always been about. Come and go as you please". It was great to here positive comments about the event. It was also great to see so many new faces and greet some of the originals from 2011 who continue to support the event.
For the finale on Saturday we gave out trophies for Best Pre 85 bike, best Pre 93 and Best Dressed.
Those winners were: Best Pre 85 bike Brian Tyne 1984 KDX200
Best Pre 93 bike Garry Brooke 1990 TT250
Best Dressed Glenn Day aboard a KTM wearing the same outfit since the early 80's
So kick back and enjoy some of my pics from the event.
Cheers Brooksie.
A suspension rebuild and an early start. I got 4.5 hours sleep in the 48 hours leading up to the event. The things we do ;)
