Yeah, particularly on Sunday when we race. Guys, don't forget there'll be carloads of tourists and families on that road so take it easy. Last thing we need is a story in the news about hooligan's terrorising people. And if you are doing lifted runs keep them legal. If won't take long before the cops come and sniff around for people in the back of utes etc.

rode it yesterday. what a top course! that pallet drop is way biger than it looks in the pic. one of the rock ones down the bottom is decent too!
the walk from the bottom to the top is an absolute killer. if you do the whole track, shuttleing is a must!

ps. bring insect repeliant!!!! serious. the flies are terrible

Yep the picture of the pallet drop is deceiving but its straight forward as long as you take the left hand side of the pallet.

928stu took about 80 digital pics so we should see some of those up soon.

Yes Mal Adjusted have been very generous with prizes and its making the post race scene much more ethusiastic.

Congrats to Nick Webb for quickest time and thanks to Jared Rando for all his help lately good to see high profile riders helping out.

And well done Rhys Mollart on his first race in under 15's.
