Dust is part of the fun really … if I couldn’t handle the dust I’d go be a pretty boy supercross rider
:laugh: :laugh:
I don’t mind the dust either , way better than foggy goggles !!
Is the Copeton Dam a good event ??

Very nice rookie , good luck at Uralla
look forward to hearing how you and the bike went :woohoo:Nick
Their is some great advice in this thread which really helped in the Transmoto 12 hour , for me the following worked on the day …
Drink lots of water and eat well leading up to the race , STM made sure we had good healthy food on the trip down and at the event. Between 4 of us we drank 43 litres of water on the day and had very few cramps.
Breath , Mal’s advice was constantly in my mind and it worked so well. Forceing myself to breath through the tricky section kept me on the ball for the easier section where I could overtake.
I should have been much more aggressive when it came to passing slower riders from the start , it took me a few laps to realise this ( revving and shouting is not wrong !!) and the track wears and fatigue sets in so I should have made the most of the early laps to get the best times.
Riding my own race kept me in my comfort zone and upright ( most the time
) and I was amazed how many guys would pass me then crash , pass again then crash only to finish the lap with or after me. Crazy but it happened so often it became funny !!!The advice for having fun was a good one too and I was conscious to enjoy the riding and the pit banter !!
41 is probably a bit late to start racing regularly but it’s got me very keen for more :woohoo:

Happy birthday Amy
Have a top day

Have Great day mate

Thanks for the vid Galey , I’d forgotten how smooth the track was at the start with no braking bumps
The ride up Mt Pinnabar was a challenge on the Tenere mainly because of the dust and sun combo we had
but the rocks down their are something else !!!How good is the view from the top though ??? :woohoo:
Happy birthday Mick , enjoy your ride mate
Hopefully catch up at the birthday ride:)
