What a day! VERi’s first interstate vinduro has been a success with riders from SA & Vic enjoying a very challenging course in absolutely perfect weather. No doubt there’ll be more said about the actual riding in the coming days, but VERi would like to get in early with a big THANK YOU to all of the people and organisations below:
Greg Gartner (landowner) for the generous use of his amazing property.
Mark Gardner and Ashley Appledore. These guys have really put in some serious hard work, hours and fuel over the last few weeks and were instrumental in getting this event from idea to reality. Colin Harper also gets a nod for his work in marking the course too.
Owen Rothe, our MA Steward who came to the rescue at short notice and ensured this event could take place.
The Gippsland girls Andrea and Karen for taking over sign-on duties so committee members could deal with other duties.
The sweep riders: Brayden Steen, Katie Gardner, Steve Wedding and Michael Milton.
Kevin for towing the VERi trailer home.
Also… Lions Club of Naracoorte, Limestone Coast Off Road Club, Mark Jennings, Old Bike Australasia, St John’s Ambulance SA, Naracoorte Motorcycle Club, Green Triangle Motorcycle Club, Adrian Fitzgerald, Joe Bunnik, Geoff Morris, John “Tex” O’Brien, Motorcycling SA, South Australian Off Road Championship, and all of the locals who were so helpful and friendly. And of course, anyone we’ve accidentally forgotten.
Finally a big THANK YOU is also due to all of the riders and their supporters who attended this event. Everyone was patient during sign on and scrutineering, many helped with course marking on Saturday, riders helped each other out on the course, there were great attitudes and smiles all round. We asked that riders take their rubbish home with them, and once everyone left there was not one piece of rubbish to be picked up. Not one. You guys are amazing.
