Sorry I couldn’t make it sounds like fun was had by all, woke up at 8.45 so decided I would load up and meet for the afternoon session but a few mates arrived and the rest is history that I am still trying to remember.
Some of those hills look familiar from the week before so I know how buggered you must have been pushing more bikes up them.October 12, 2009 at 9:52 am #156130Dont know where that post come from, the computer just refreshed itself and re did everything I did an hour ago including resending emails

Not good news about closing tracks!
October 14, 2009 at 8:21 am #156416The tracks were sign posted last year with proposed closures but the signs and barrier tape were either torn down or removed by DSE, i’m not sure which. There is no defanite time frame but I would say sooner rather than later. Read more on the web site http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/forests
October 14, 2009 at 9:00 am #156418This has been on the cards for a while, I think there has been discussions with Geelong 4 x 4 club about the amount of damage that is deing done. Unfortunatly from what Ive seen it more 4×4 damage to tracks than bike damage so it looks like we all suffer. Go to you tube and type in paddy’s swamp or Geelong 4×4 and you will see how deep some of these cars get bogged and some of the real damage.

It will probably drive riders back down towards the Anglesea beach area where you will get more complaints from residents about noise as the suburban spraul is slowly spreading there and riding will sooner or later be restricted there as well.
