Conondale Vinduro Sprint 29,30/03/14

[Graham]

Bugger, we have an INTERCLUB event at Harrisville the same day other wise I would have been in

Popeye you can ride Harrisville any day of the week , two days riding at Conondale,beats one day going around in circles.Far better value for ur money.

[XC83]

Bugger, I'm out. Riding the dsmra Kowen Forrest ride. 

Looks like I only get to ride Conondale at CD this year.

[popeye]

Yep your right Graham, but I've got to support my home track on race day, plus give Greg a hand if he needs one his foot getting better but still not 100 percent, and want try my new sidecar out...
But next time count me in ....

What a bummer. I was really looking forward to doing the vinduro sprint again this year, after having lots of fun last year, but that date just doesn't work for me. There is also VMX meeting on that day in my local area, so will probably have a ride there and give my bikes a shakedown run for Toowoomba. Ah well, there's always next year.

Can someone please let me know that it is definitely on with a few days to spare. I checked the forum last Friday morning and it was not cancelled, got on the plane with a mate from Cairns and flew to Brisbane. I then had to call Rick myself to find out it was cancelled. Very costly weekend. We would love to come down but we need to know a little earlier if it is not going to happen.Thanks.

Just remember that this forum is not an official site for anything.  Always check with the club regarding an events status. Sometimes the forum gets the news hot off the press but don't rely on it if it's important to you.

The weather forecasters got it right for once, on the initial date for the event. On their forecasts, I decided to bail out at the last minute and go to work instead.  I usually don't have much faith in weathermen as they normally don't seem to get it right too often with NQ cyclones and only seem to be just guessing most of the time.

Hi Andrew, Yeah, sorry about that. In hindsight we should have called it early Friday morning.  But I live an hour away and the first report I got was from an optimist  
Then We then stood around not believing our bad luck
Please PM me your mobile number and I will give you mine and you can call before you leave, if there is any concern.

It is a bummer this is the only W/end we can fit in and fully understand why people can't be there .

The country will be all the better with the drenching.

Your right there. The track is every bit as good as last year. It is in perfect loam moist condition, did a rearrow and clean up yesterday,  just a bit more work with the tractor clearing away some rocks and some tape in a few spots and it will be all go.  The track is no harder or easer than last year.  Just more fun.   

The pits and start/finish for the vinduro will be behind the shower block so follow the arrows around to that part of the pits.  I was thinking we could have the quickshades facing the road and laneway to the start/finish.  Entries will be taken after 10.30 Saturday.

qmp was not kind to me today found a new log on the track im very sore se docs tomorow broke foot maybe if not see ya sayerday
 

[PEZBerq]

Russ sorry to hear of the injury. Was it a crash or did you just smash the foot on the log without crashing? If the swelling doesn't go down you can always ride in thongs at Conondale. I am sure the organizers wouldn't mind seeing the occasional competitor in a thong 

[oldfart]

Bloody hell  Rusty .... Do I need to be looking for a new partner come  Pan pacific games 

[Husqvarnavillle]

Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it XC83 as I was looking forward to dicing with the big AE500 again. Catch up with you at CD if your there.
