Hey
Was wondering which is the quickest way to get to the track if coming from south eastern area of sydney.
Go up through Maroota then across the river on the Webbs Creek ferry. Is it a long wait for the ferry, will it be buisy on a Sunday morning?
OR
Miss the ferry completely and go up through Lower Portland and along Bicentenary drive?
and also where is the best place to park for the race this sunday?

Cheers Luke

Luke,
The wait for the ferry is usually not too long. Especially early in the morning.
Bicentenary drive is a dirt road most of the way and gets very tight and steep in some places.
It can be a bit tricky if you haven't been that way before.
4wd no worries, most cars won't have a problem, some turns are a bit tight with a trailer.
Just keep your eye out for oncoming traffic, they get a bit too close sometimes.
the car park is on the left as you enter the resort.
See you there.
Foxy.

Well I'd say this track is a intermediate/advanced difficulty track, with a lot of technical sections. Seeing as though you're coming off a shoulder injury and your first ride in months, I'd say put it off and ride elsewhere. I crashed quite a number of times in one day haha having said that I'm not that confident of a rider, so many others are probably way better off on this track than I.

The date for the next round ( 20th June) has it for a Wednesday.
Will this just be the state round on the 24th or is there another meeting before?

Hey G-Man, there's someone missing from the results... A mate of ours, Grant Paisley, was there for his first ever DH race, but he's missing from the results. He was in Masters.

Indeed I was rider 202 and was entered in Masters (although technically I'm in Masters 50+). Only made one run.

Really enjoyed the day, was a challenging technical course without being crazy hard. Would have been nice to have another bus but understand you had a bigger turn out than expected.

You might consider using http://www.eventbrite.com/ for you events.

Big thankyou to the organisers. I know at least one of you was working on the track until got too dark to work.
