There is also a track at Parwan ( Bacchus Marsh ) it has 2 tracks to ride on, $25 per rider. Nothing to brag about but a good hard ride if that`s what your after.  Peter.

Thanks Guy's.  Took my CRF450 to Wells Rd a couple months ago, rough alright lol, broke my sholder joint flat-landing over the new table-top chasing some kid named Shane Boyd; I have since realized that I am now old LOL.

Yeh Broadmeadows track is still going, hard-pack, big doubles; I'm scared to pay $40 to smash myself out on them.  The track is only 25 min away for me.... hmmmm.

Keen to try Bacchus, might check YouTube to see what it looks like.

I see Stewart's Leisure Riding Park in Stawell is open this weekend, a bit far to go .... hmmm.

I've decided, Parwan, on Sunday, it's only $25 per bike, it's open Sat & Sun 9 - 5 and Mon & Wed 9 - 1.  Who's coming?  Might go out during the week too.

Weather forecast is for a few showers on Sunday morning, in this temp the puddles should dry pretty quick.  I'll plan to get there around 9.30am ish.

Cool see ya's there; I'll be the guy in the white JT gear  :-)

Townley was at Wells rd recently , you gotta pick your times .I usually just watch those guys , which is often worth the trip and then go out when they are packing it in .They usually dont stay till the end.
Also I thought that Stewarts got shutdown???

The track is pretty friendly with nothing that is really dangerous, it`s rough and not very well maintained. Your enduro bike should be ok.  Peter.

Stewarts just reopened with a new track not far from the old one (apparently so I hear).

Yeh Townley came out to Broadford last week, while I was working there, he didn't ride much but looked fast.  I didn't know my old friend Mike Landman is the Honda race team Manager, was good to catch up with him.

You guys all good to go for Parwan ride tomorrow ?
                                                                        looks like it is going to rain here at the moment which is just what that track needs. Should be a good day out.  Peter.
