Hoony,

Bastard :) you will never forget......you will bing that up even if you had alzheimers.

Myself, Johnny O, Shane and a couple of top lads in 4wd's traipsed the paddocks of Clarkefield til dark yesterday afternoon to set out a small enduro loop. I think we've done a reasonable job considering the space we've got to work in, a lot of it is across VERY ROCKY, scotch thistle infested paddock, some cool up n downs and a hill climb or two. There was opportunity to make a an awesome (semi) extreme enduro loop on this property but giving consideration to some of the older machinery that might ride it just wasn't fair to do so, we set the course out that we believed we could get around on a DT175 which should keep it manageable to everyone. I will stress this highly though……..it is ROCKY, very ROCKY!!! This will not be a piston slapping speed trial, to be honest i reckon a lot will not exceed 40km/h around the entire circuit, plenty of slow "dodge the boulders" areas to be very careful of..choose not to heed this warning and you'll likely end up on your arse more than once. That said, i think it will be great little test of ability, concentration, obstacle awareness and a great sideshow to everything else that will be happening over the weekend. Can't wait, see ya there  :)

Cheers, Brendan

Considering the time available and what you had to work with.  I think you and Johnny Oh did a great job Brendan.
Thanks for that.  Once we get a few people running over the loop, I think it will be better.  Looking like it's going to be a ripper of a weekend.  Cheers Shane.

I've made too much noise about pre-95 MX to miss the Pre-00 day.
I've also made too much noise about Pre-90 Vinduro to miss Cookardinia...

Hit Viper Clarkefield around 8pm ish Just in time for the Bonfire ( bring a few bevvies & a Chair ), Then Racing allday Sunday.

Close, but reverse order.
Get to Clarkefield on Friday evening, ride Saturday, then up to Holbrook before the 8pm lockout, ride all day Sunday.
:)

My poor little car will have racked up nearly 4000km in a fortnight at the end of this, though...  :-\

Only 5 more sleeps til the weekend.... I'm definitely not missing this one. The boss has been told rain hail or shine that I will not be doing any quick jobs! The mobile phone will be switched off  ::)

I'm guessing the enduro loop will need tyres inflated to 20psi unless you want pinched tubes.

I can second that.  It's got lots of rocks.  Little ones, big ones and all the ones in-between.

Don't scare everyone, not all of the Pony-Express loop is rock, there's some nice flat grass and some nice hill-climbs too  :-)
