Not much to report yet, other than there'll be plenty of rocks.  ;)

There'll most likely be two loops - the standard vinduro affair, and a supplementary one for anyone with a registered bike.

Keep checking the Vinduro Victoria website, and if you haven't done so already get yourself on our (e)mailing list.

Ok, I can confirm that the loop will be about 7 kms or so in length. It'll have some tricky bits but everything will be "do-able". There'll also be a much longer additional loop for those with registered bikes and a motorcycle licence.

The entry form and an info sheet have been sent to everyone on the Vinduro Victoria mailing list. If you haven't received them, and would like to, send me a PM.

See you there.

Went out to the venue today to offer some help setting up, but wouldn’t you know it, they had already finished.
Dam, that left me with nothing to do but to go out and ride a test lap.
It is only a short course but I enjoyed every bit of it, nice bushland, challenging in some spots but not overly difficult. The only hill to speak of is easier than last years Tallarook and the feared rocks weren’t all that bad.
It’s very sandy / loamy, dust won’t be a problem
I had a ball riding it. It should be a great day.

The start of the loop…



Heaps of quality parking is available…

Thanks for the preview GMC.

Please note that an updated entry form for this event has been sent to everyone on our mailing list. Use this one, and bring correct change on the day, or else we'll get GMC to park your vehicle!

That’s Rustedstud that’s doing the undercar checks, I usually park much worse than that.

He’s also offering a Valet parking service, please be sure to lock your hubs in before handing him your keys.

I’m looking forward to getting back there and riding it again, the boys did a great job setting up. Steve took his bobcat out there and groomed a level parking lot (much to Rustedstud’s disgust) and he also dragged up some firewood to build some bonfires.

They did a good job marking it out too, it was easy to find my way around the track, obviously Drakie had nothing to do with putting up the arrows. :D

They also have a good Red plate ride planned as well so those with Classic Reg or Rec. Reg. will get the full experience.

Rain won’t bother me, no siree (won’t take me long to get back home)

My trusty little KDX is still in bits at the moment, stripping them down always seems to be the easy bit doesn’t it.
And not a moment too soon, I can feel the play in the big end and the piston has some big grooves worn into it from the inlet bridges.

My favorite at the Pancake Parlour is the Canadian, with the works. So this weekend I have borrowed a Can Am, and hopefully it works. (have already noticed one shock is weeping)
I plan on riding it like it’s not mine so it should be a good day

Uh oh....did you borrow the bike from Pancake Hammond?
I'd've thought the favourite was the pancake stack..........
