Dunno about brave Tex, there’s a very thin line between bravery & stupidity.
As for the Blacksands on the 5th, well my head has a bad habit of writing out cheques that my body can’t cash.
I will have to see how I survive Murrindindi.

Just a reminder that this event is on this Sunday (Oct 23) at Ballan.

It's a combined vinduro & classic scramble event for pre 1975 motocrossers and pre 1985 vintage enduro bikes, run on a natural terrain scramble track. So, it'll be something a little different. 

Overnight camping with full facilities is $20 at the caravan park next door to the track. Contact Josh on 0413 775 844 to find out more.

See you there.

Its only a stones throw from the freeway, in fact you can see the freeway in the background of some of my pics.
You could even ride your CanAm straight there.

Directions to the event.

From Melb:
Take the second Ballan exit off the Ballarat Freeway, turn left towards the town and first road on your right is the Caravan Park entrance.

From Ballarat:
Take the first exit, turn right and then the first right is the Caravan park entrance. Ballan, an hour from anywhere!

More than 40 riders enjoyed a tremendous day! The weather was great, and the track was fun with a capital F. A big thank-you goes out to everyone involved.

The real question is: What happened to Mr GMC at Murrindindi?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

The real question is: What happened to Mr GMC at Murrindindi?

Mr GMC had a crap day dnfing with exhaustion.
Too tall gearing and lack of traction on the relentless course of hills left me floundering on some hills with steam pouring out (out of me, not my aircooled bike)

It was a teams event where both members rode the course together in order to survive.
Eventually the coil fell off Dave’s bike so I quickly volunteered to go get help. Once having done so I collapsed under the shade of my tailgate drinking as much water as I could, all the time thinking about what a great day we could have had at Ballan.

As for being quiet in Broadford, well I haven’t been here for a while as I have just finished an 8 day stint in hospital with Pneumonia.
Got out this morning but still feeling a bit second hand.
Now to play the catch up game.

Bloody hell Geoff, we could have done an episode of wife swap. I just got my missus back from Hospi with pnuenomia as well.

Quite a few peeples presenting with this at the moment, thank goodness for the drugzzzzzzzzzzzzz  ;D
