Well done Drew and Hobbsie, sounds very tiring but good fun. What about Fat Boy or did he just spend 12 hours at the burger van.............................

Burger van was always an option but I decided to have a little ride instead
rode for 9 hrs and came 29th in class.
Great track and company for the weekend.
1st lap 1st down hill fell off. No damage.
1st Lap 2nd or 3rd extreme section can't remember big up hill with a vert at the top, looped it out and snapped subframe and rear mud guard fell off. Riding after this was interesting as mud was flying everywhere, I looked like I had been tarmaking. Seat covered in mud.
2nd lap the left foot peg teeth fell off and I couldn't keep my foot on the peg, few scary moments resulted but no offs . Large file sorted this out as I cut teeth into what remained of the peg . All in all I loved it and I'm just about recovered now.
If you haven't done it before you should give it a go.

Haha should have bought a KT... Oh wait...

Sounds like it was immensely fun Luke. Moments like then when it seems like everything is going wrong and you just plough through it :)

That vertical section sounds like a challenge. Be good to hear about it all when I next see ya :D

Well done Luke, 29th sounds like a good result.Been watching a few video clips from the KTM forum and it looks good, I think I recognise some of the course from when I`ve been riding with Lee.

You will do Steve . Lee uses a fair bit of the land round the edge of Walters arena
