Hey all, Racing at the Pine forest this coming monday afternoon (9th) from about 5:30pm (probably a 6pm start). We meet next to the creek just past the picnic...
A short line, or 100 to say that the majority of people finish work at 5:30, and a 6 start may be the reason why numbers are down a bit on last season. Can I...

That's a good idea - it would be so much easier to base an enduro from the picnic area - better road access, parking, flat space for interchange, "pits" etc,...

What about completing the regular loop out the back, then after crossing back over the creek (on bamf's bridge) to the current start point, instead of going ...

there is also a track along the southern side of the pine forest following the fence line. You have to go thru a few pine trees to get to it but it's not a...
I was thinking that once we crossed back over on Bamfs bridge you head up and out the gate from which you turn a sharp right (now heading west) you would then...

Sam and i were thinking we could just print out some big bold arrows on sheets of paper (maybe A5 size - or whatever you call half of A4), laminate them, pin...
For now, maybe we should knock up some laminated arrows on posts to put on the track before it starts. It sucks to ride out, put them up, and take them down...
The only thing I can come up with is using old ice cream container lids. These could be zipper stripped or wired to trees? We could draw an arrow on them using...

My only input is if you are thinking of planning trails for an enduro you need to plan so the track doesn't cross over itself and it doesnt cross the main ...
The tapes are good, but from our experience they are usually removed by the Medieval society - they like the place to look as old fashioned as possible...and...
Just a quick note, Yesterday was the 2nd last round of the Australian 4X series held at Newcastle (the last is Ours on Jan 28) It was raced on the rebuilt...
