Rockley Vinduro / Poker Run
« on: April 27, 2012, 06:42:34 pm »
If you still want a Ride in May 2012 

The first Vinduro / Poker Run at Rockley will be the week-end of the 26th and 27th of May  2012 (sorry for the short notice but thats how the availability of the site worked out)

Entry forms will be available on The Manly Warringah Motor Cycle Inc. website soon.

Rockley will be the venue.

As previously advised the loop was already very good and it has been vastly improved.


To all riders interested that do not have a current competition license you will require a recreational licence. We can provide the Rec. license but will need to know prior to the event as we purchase the rec licences from MA.


Pre entry is our preference but you can enter on the day. If you enter on the day and require a rec. license but have not previously advised us of your intensions you will not have rec. license reserved for you therefore you will not be able to ride.

Camping is available on site (from Friday afternoon May 25th. )(No riding until the event starts on saturday morning)

Portable toilets will be available

Bring all your requirements for shelter , food and the fresh water you require for drinking.

“Entry forms will be available on the Manly Warringah Motor Cycle Club web site soon.”

Remember bikes must have headlights (no they don’t necessarily have to work) MX bikes with headlight fitted are very welcome

Prior to entries being received if you wish to reserve a rec. licence , email me.
[email protected] or  [email protected].

I expect if we purchase a rec. license and it is  reserved for a particular individual and that individual is a no show, we would still expect payment for the license . as previously stated we are only purchasing enough licences for confirmed event entrants.

The event entry fee will be $58.00 which covers both days.
The rec. licence fee will be $25.00 which covers both days.

Prizes will be presented to the three best poker hands on Saturday

Prizes will be presented to the three best poker hands on Sunday

Email me with any questions

Regards

Update No:1

For the riders that are fimiliar with the Rockley venue , you will be excited to know that we will be using the original and new grass tracks adjacent to the camping areas for this event , they will then hook up with the bottom grass track adjacent to the cattle yard before we head off into the bush.

So at a guess , the grass track will be approx . 4.5 km long , hows that for the start of each loop . I have been advised by Ribbo that there will be  NO first gear corners on this grass track.

This will make the total loop approx. 15.0 km long

This is going to be fast fast fast

No first gear corners on the grass track, Ribbo's 490 has a four speed box, no first gear  ;) we will see how it goes up against the Mighty Husky 500 Bullet  :D and that pesky MTK 495  ;D

Today at Rockley we commenced the preparations for the upcoming event by slashing in the grass tracks.

This is how the track will be

Start

section 1 grass track 1.6km

section 2 grass track 1.8 km

section 3 grass track 1.1 km

these three sections flow on / back to back

section 4 (new) across the swamp up the hill into a nice fast / flowing section finishing on the other the side of the swamp at a sensational crossing . 1.1 Km

section 5 (new) fast flowing open section ( 800m)

Then back onto the original course which will have some further modifications in two weeks. These sections are approx. 12.0 km in length.

We anticipate that the overall course length will be in excess of 20.0 Km.

With the 4.5 km of flowing grass track in the first stages of the course and the remaining modified sections of the course, this will be a event not to miss. (best course we have set to date)

Hi

We spent the week-end at Rockley with a few of the lads finalising the course.

If you miss this you will be missing the best one to date.

The first , second and fifth sections are new.

You start with a 5.0 km , three section grass track.

Hope to see all the regulars at Rockley next week-end
