Three Bridges 2013 - perfect way to start the vinduro year
« on: March 03, 2013, 09:31:07 pm »
The rainfall during the week, combined with the hard work of Ryan and the OMCC resulted in a terrific loop that was enjoyed by a large crowd, including many vinduro newbies. This time the course was completely different to previous years. It was a real cracker, and everyone I spoke to during and afterwards had nothing but positive things to say.

Alongside the usual PE/IT/XR turnout, there was a healthy collection of European machinery, trials bikes, converted motocrossers, etc. Even an XT250...  ;)

While I was following Canam370 on his Hercules, I had to laugh at his narrow escape from being taken out by a runaway PE, of which he was blissfully unaware. A few centimetres difference and there would've been no bliss!

There were plenty of photographers getting about, so I expect some pics will start appearing shortly.

Awesome loop, it would of been just as awesome in reverse so the long downhill could become big bore hill! My YZ didn't miss a beat but I saw a lot of stopped bikes throughout the day stranded mid loop lol

   I did have a slow start after putting my back out on Friday night a glenrowing. servo .

   The course was fantasist I just loved riding in that type of country.
   I just loved the layed back but very well organize event.
   The big fire on Saturday night, a DVD to 2 by Mick off the EBT forum.
   A few Rums with some new mates but forgot ya names by morning
   I caught up with a few good mates from Vic. that i allready new ..
   It was a good week end.

   And it was just like the photos  and talk from lasts year and I think the Bloody Leach thing was a  Pump up  a

The one being ridden by a handsome chap with sublime riding skills? Why, that was me!  8)

I noticed in Scooter News there was a pic of another XT250, I didn't see it on the day, was that one ridden by someone here?
