VERi Yarram Vinduro - 1 July 2018

[VERi]

The next event on the VERi calendar is the Yarram Vinduro on 1 July 2018.

Bikes will need to be registered for this one, and riders must have a licence.

This event should especially appeal to vinduro fans in Gippsland and Eastern Victoria in general.

The course will be a great mix of flowing trails, made up of surfaces from sandy loam to harder packed trails, all linked together to create a loop of approximately 60 kms.

A large portion of the trails are not regularly ridden, therefore they create good flow and are not flogged out. The track also features short special-test style sections in the loamy areas. Another section contains slightly bermed corners which promote confidence and higher gear use! There are no areas that riders should get hooked up on, or have to push their mates out of bog holes.

The flow of the track is a great precursor to build ride fitness for later VERi events such as Harrow. 

More details coming soon.

Yep. Bring the secret weapon.

We encourage everyone to bring their weapons, secret or otherwise! 

This should be a great event, and will include some interesting riding. It must be good - a round of the VORC was held there last year. By all reports the facilities at the Yarram MX track are terrific, so camping will be a highlight of the weekend. No catering at this event, but the township of Yarram is close by and has an excellent selection of cafes, pubs etc.

It's a relatively easy drive from Melbourne, with major roads making it a breeze.

Local club members have given up their time and been working hard to come up with a ride that is sure to impress.

Entry at the event, with no late fee, so plenty of scope for a last minute decision to come for a ride!

It's also a great opportunity to shake down your bike(s) before the 10th Anniversary Harrow Vinduro at the end of July.

See you there.

Hoping to make it to this one

Is the sign-on/start point at the MX track grounds, or elsewhere?

Are there entry forms available online that we can 'pre-fill' to save time and congestion on the day?

Is my 'other half' allow to bring her dog along (on a leash of course)?

Cheers,
Peter

At the Yarram motocross track, which is also where the camping area is.

We'd rather no dogs were brought along, but if you do bring a dog please keep it on a leash at all times.

The Yarram Motocross complex’s camping facilities include, power, water, hot showers, and toilets. There is also a shed with a camp kitchen including a BBQ and wood heater. There are also a few fire drums supplied. Gates will be open from 10am on Saturday.

The motocross track will be available on Saturday afternoon for riders (and registered bikes) who have entered the event only.

The total loop distance will be about 70 kms (slightly more than previous estimate of 60 kms), there will also be a fuel dump around the 40 km mark. The tracks are in prime condition after the solid rain that's fallen in the area recently.

Yarram is around 200 kms from Melbourne. Take the Princes Highway to Traralgon then head south via the Hyland Highway to Yarram. The South Gippsland highway from Cranbourne also runs directly to Yarram.

The track is located at the end of Morris Road, off Buckley Island Road.

Many thanks to the local VERi members who have been instrumental in getting this event off the ground. It looks like they are already set for the event.
