Bummer mate, oh well you will persist with those pesky Suzukis!!
Was looking forward to flogging black Danny too... :) I think Bagshot has been cancelled maybe?! Yes Yanakie for sure and should have the YZ 400f rear end sorted by then I hope.

But more than anything I want to be able to make up my own tales of hardship and how I conquered the terrain of Harrow

Ha ha, that sums up the essence of the whole event really!

Good luck - I will pass your sledging comment on to Black Danny.  I am sure you will get your chance at beating him, but I think he has other plans.

Team Husky NSW

3 team riders finished the event.

Great tough hit out , with some tricky sections , nice river crossings , tricky traverses , nice long hills (up and down) , flat out top gear transport sections and a couple of killer bog's "if you were not careful". The special test "sand" MX track was just awesome

Credit to Drakey , fab. event .

If you get the chance , next year , don't miss this event. This event is a great test of Vintage  bike and rider.

What a fantastic ride, a real challenge and loads of fun.

Many thanks to the CSC and the team of workers that set up the course, What a privilege to be able to ride on such a great property!

It's worth the long drive; it's just that good.

What to ride next year?

But what of the Welsh I hear you say?   ???

Good question XC83

What ever happened to the Welsh team, i think the Captain of the Welsh team (to his credit) finished the event , but it was on a borrowed bike.

This should / will make for a  good part of the final ride report , and i think there are photos to confirm this.

I have been advised that there may be team defections before next years event , "such intrigue already" and its 52.0 weeks until we get to do the Harrow event again.

There was much controversy at the offical photo session outside the welsh Embassy on Sunday afternoon.

Approximately 250 sleeps left to go....it's coming up fast.

I can confirm a rumour about the Welsh Captain... no no no, only the one about defections....

Whilst on an expedition recently to the North Shore of Sydney driving on Pittwater road I saw a group of large tents set up in a park, most were white but there was one in amongst the trees in full camo, it wasn't as tall as the others and looked familiar, this made me suspicious. I pulled over and to my surprise I saw a little SWM being ridden by a gent with red curly hair, red nose and big floppy feet, it was him - the ex Welsh Captain, he looked a little pale with dark rings around his eyes, perhaps he was being worked too hard, who knows. But one thing is for sure...the humiliating defeat dealt by the Husky NS(W) team at the 2012 event was too much for him to bare and that's why he's run away with the circus.
