Hi Frosty, theirs a Practice track in Bacchus Marsh which isn't too far from you.
As far as I'm aware over 16 is okay to ride the Vinduro's.

Try to make it to the Vinduro's, the only one i have been to was a blast, i only wish they had 1 a month   ;D  but im thinking Drakie will not agree with me   :D  Hey Drakie any chance of making these Vinduro's go for say 6 to 8 hours, I dont mind being stuffed for the next week after woulds, if you dont mind watching the fat bloke on the DT go by :) all be it slowly.

Mate i never met anything else but a good lot of blokes having a ride-chin wag or just soaking up the day,, young blokes old blokes it dont matter, just go and have great day or two,  like me and the misses had :) the wife might have had to much of a good time Saturday at Castella, but she kept the crowd laughing.
