Castella Vinduro rescheduled to January 29

[Tex]

It would be a tragedy to let those 8 kms of lovingly groomed new trails go to waste, so the vinduro that was cruelly rained out last month has been rescheduled for January 29!

There'll also be a scramble track for kids, which will be open for juniors until 2pm. After that it will be combined with another (new) motocross track for some special test fun for the adults.

It is also tentatively planned that a red plate ride will take place on the Saturday (Jan 28).

Sta tuned for more details.

Grrr......Team Bent Forks won't be in attendance. Got a Ride to the Snowies conflicting. I asked the organisers if they'd change the date forward or back a weekend but they are not proving to be very helpful

I'll second that.

Just go via Castella - easy! 

I'm just worried about it being a stinkin' hot day, but 'experts' tell me that we can expect a cool summer... I'm keen to try out the new tracks that have been laid out.

2 Questions;
1) Are pre 75 motocrossers (with a headlight) welcome? and 2) If they are am I able to get around the track without a bash plate (Bultaco Pursang). NB Neither of these questions would need to be asked if I had my Frontera (with a bashplate) ready but I won't have and I am keen to ride. Thanks Jerry

1) Absolutely!
2) Yes, it should be ok. I haven't seen the new loop, but have ridden there previously several times, and it is not especially rocky. In fact I have ridden bikes with no bashplate there.

It will be great to see you and your Pursang there Jerry.

looks like it might be a warm one!! lets hope the rain gets there early

Wow, what a day! 79 riders at our first event for the year. Made all the more amazing by the fact it was the Australia Day weekend, and it was blazing hot.

It was great to see so many new faces, and different bikes.

Despite the heat, quite a few riders managed to clock up impressive lap tallies, including two chaps with 17 apiece.

Thanks to everyone who made the event possible; especially the officials/volunteers, first aid crew, Bingara Dell property owner, Discount Motorcycle Wreckers, Stacker Motorcycles, and anyone else I've forgotten.

Photos from the day have already started to appear on the Enduro Bike Talk forum and on the Vinduro forum, and I'm sure there'll be more soon.
