Pics of VF (Vintage Farm) 6/5/14 @ Heathcote, Vic
« on: May 05, 2014, 06:08:27 pm »
Anyone up for a ride at Vintage Farm tomorrow 6/5/14?  I was there on Sunday, it was as close to loam that Heathcote could ever be, it was grouse!

The track is 1.4 km's long, few bumps, no jumps, whole track rotory-hoed, average width 6m, up hill, down hill, berms, no puddles ...... you deserve a sicky  ;-)

I'll get there about 10.00am, leave about 4.00pm ish.

This Monday the 12th is looking like a goer, a shower or two over the weekend should it see it perfect for a dry day forecast on the Monday .... good time for a 'sickie', we've had a few hot & dusty months where the track was not much fun, pretty soon we'll have too much rain and it'll spoil things.

Spent a few hours yesterday afternoon at John's track.

Of the 5 different makes of bikes in attendance, only one was a reluctant starter on the day but persistence beat resistance  ;D




Thanks John  :)
