2015 Blackwood Vinduro: August 29 - 30
« on: July 28, 2015, 11:11:05 pm »
The Blackwood Vinduro is just over a month away. Hopefully my boots will have dried out by then! Entry & UVP forms are available on the VERi website.

It will be a different course to last year, but we'll depart from the same location.

More details to come...

Please note that the main event is on Sunday. On Saturday afternoon there'll be a small 'special test' track on which to hone your skills!

Yep, me too. Be good to see you guys there.

Yes and no. There is a self-contained loop at Tallarook completely on private property, where no rego is required. There's also a ride thru surrounding bush where rego is needed, as well as motorcycle licence.

Similar deal at Stratford, however we are working out some more details for Stratford, so stay tuned...

VERi volunteers were out doing a preliminary recce of the course today. It's looking good - a bit wet in places, but mostly puddles that can easily be avoided. I've been assured that there'll be no bogholes! It is slippery in places though, so good tyres are advisable. The course will be around 60 km or less, and will use some of the same trails as last year, but with a lot of new stuff thrown in.

Pre-entry closes in a weeks time on Monday 24 August. If you want to apply for a UVP through VERi, then you'll need to get it in by this Friday. Vic rec rego is ok for this event.

Accommodation is still available through the club, or organise your own at any of the local B&Bs etc. Easily accessible from Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo, etc so arriving on Sunday morning is also easy.

This was a great event last year, and this one should be too!

Strewth Tex, those vids gave me flashbacks to those sewerage trenches disguised as puddles.

Better get my skates on and put my new rego sticker on (yes I have renewed in time this year), repack my muffler and find my riding gear.
