Hi Justin,
Come to the HEAVEN Buladelah event in two weeks. There will be recreational riding all Saturday arvo. If you don't want to race on the Sunday that will be fine, just ride Sat arvo at your pace and leisure. Plenty of us do that. That way you can view first hand what it's all about. You can camp for free on the Friday and Saturday nights or get a room at the local pub or motel just up the road.
Did you get a info pack off me on the weekend with the flyer and calendar dates?
