Kowen Forest Ride 2013

[Damien BonoraMember]

Hi all, I have just received my entry acceptance back for this year’s Kowen Forest ride put on by DSMRA.
I done the ride last year (my first time) and had a ball
It had very tight singles in places last year and I am interested to see how the new bike goes compared to the Husky.
Is anyone else going this year??

Most of Galey’s Gang will be there Trailraider. MickKTM300, Marty450, ClarkyKTM, Gocman and Kimbo.

I agree, it is a top event with sweet trails and 2 nights camping.

See you there.

Yeah Trailraider,as Galey said we will all be done there mate.
Come over to camp for a Beer or two. Dont let Galey twist your arm for a Guava Cruiser.

It is a great event.

See ya down there.

Hi Galey,
We are camping on the Saturday night too so we might be able to catch up for a beer :whistle:

Hey Marty,
Sounds good mate. White VW transporter dual cab BF-31-XX.

1972 huh, good year

[Adrian GaleMember]

Yikes TB. I did lose interest when I saw Oz govt something……

Trailraider, we wont be hard to find. Noisey blokes, KTM’s parked up everywhere, a couple of swags and The Doggy Hilton! We will be up near the top section up at Kowen Heights.

On the trails , these blokes are pros. If you are fast enough you may be able to hang with MartyMonster for a bit and pick up some tips.

[Damien BonoraMember]

Thanks Galey, I’ll keep an ear out for you guys.

I have entered this, a friend said it is meant to be fun.

Haven’t found much info about it other then how to enter …. Someone said you start a minute apart in groups of five? Is it a race?

[MARTIN TWINEMember]

Gday Rach,

Good to see you have entered this event,it is easy riding and you wont have any troubles,also a great atmosphere. If you do have trouble there are a bunch of us sweeps that will get you going again. Easy Grade 3. There are excellent pine singles,open fire trail and the odd hillclimb with plenty of assistance.
Its not a race and everyone is pretty cruisy about everything.

As Galey said,we will be camped up the top near the main Control, drop in for a chat.

Trailraider,yes mate the ol 1972 was a good year. Galeymaster is in the same vintage also,yet he rides like a 25 year old Pro Enduro racer,we can all learn a few things off this lad.

Hi Rach,
if you and any other less experienced OBT’s are feeling cautious, I would be happy to be a sweep for you guys for a lap.
I have been reading about your ride the other weekend when old girls bike dropped its lunch, great ride reports, sounds like you had fun and are willing to have a go!
If you get a group together I am happy to help if needed not saying that you wouldn’t cope but if it puts you guys at ease at all then I’m happy.
Anything to promote our sport is cool with me!!

Another event you may consider if you enjoy Kowen forest is the Sunny Corner Rally.
I have done it 4 times now and I love it, can’t wait till my boys are old enough to do it with me
Its usually on in September, this year’s date has not been announced yet as far as i know.

[RachMember]

Thanks Trailraider might just take you up on that offer . I am going with a group just never met them before all bar 1 person.

But it would be fair to say that on most of my rides i end up hanging out with the sweep :whistle:

Yep heard Sunny Corner Rally is a good ride I will keep an eye out for it. I still have that newbie enthusias where I sign for pretty much any ride i see :woohoo: Kind off cant till over this faze over its getting exhausting :unsure:
