I’m defiantly in, what ever we do, it’s my bday weekend so it is going to cost me to get a pass out.
I am concerned that a 20k loop at this event is’nt going keep us entertained for long with a lot of other bikes there also.
I see our options are-
1 the event we are looking at.
2 a look around Woodenbong { depending upon what I have found}
3 a ride at the sunshine coast.

Are you keen to ride Sat and Sun?

Whats your thoughts?

Unfortunatly I cant make it that day, but having said that I would reconsider the RTCB rides if I were you. These rides are set up mainly to cater to the flanny set. The tracks are usually rocky rutted shit holes, which of course can be fun, but not when your #600 through.

I reckon a better option would be a run through the Kenilworth state forest to Imbil pub for lunch then back again. Great riding in a great part of the country.

I have the gps track that I would send to whoever nominates to be the lead rider as long as they respect the fact and use it accordingly.
The route would need to be pre ridden as I havnt done it for quite a few months.

mcGUYver,
Being new to Queensland I dont even know where Kenilworth is or the Imbil pub, but if your up for showing me the trail I would be happy to lead the boys through if it is ok, what sought of K’s would it be and what sought of trails. We could pre ride if that suited you.

Cheers KTM01

Yeah, to go over the top, you could do your sand run from Noosa, hop the ferry over the river then run the beach to Rainbow/Inskip, onto the next ferry and hit Fraser at Hook point..( the Bottom end), then the long run upto the top point. That would be the run for the brissy end of QLD. Take a long weekend because the run upto Rainbow is full of other spots to check out to.

Mate, I’ve only ever done that run in an old Subaru wagon, many year ago now..and not onto the Island. I’ve been alround the Island, nevr stepped foot on it in 15 yr+. I’ve done some sand running around here though, found it pays to wash bike well and spray down with WD40…the god of all things mechanical..LOl.. From Noosa up to Rainbow is a steady run..is Patroled abit and is speed posted. Once around half way up, there is tracks everywhere, just off the beach app. 400 mtrs, it goes red clay.( 400 mtrs straight, is hilly between beach and backtracks). I spent around 2 yrs in the area 4x4ing n the subaru. great place to look around… I have only Just started finding all the tracks again on the bike. Most times riding Solo..so carefully.. My bike is only 1 yr old..still on orig chain/sprocket set. As well as pads.( perhaps i ride to slow??)
