sounds great but have to work on the Sunday. We are going to the Flinders (Blinman, just a bit up from Wilpena) in October school holidays. My brother lives up there. Staying on private property and they are letting us ride the trails!

UP DATE; The second days riding on sunday will be only $10 per quad.

Have also be adviced by others that have been on this ride a few weeks ago and thats it is rocky so be prepared.

eg; 6ply tyres minimum, be able to do 85 km fuel range. carry some food and drinks ,also some tyre plugs and a pump (you just never know).

once we start this ride it is only oneway so a break down will take a long time to recover.

bring you quad ready to ride and well maintained.

This is not a race its a trail ride .

getting closer Smile

Last run of this track was 105 km, If you can do 115 you will make it no probs, also depends how you ride it.
I rode Donna's YFZ450 and mainly cruised but opened it up some too and hit reserve but made it home. Mando rode his Raptor 700 hard and run out of fuel ,scabbed abpout a litre from other bikes, ran out again and scabbed another litre then got home.
If you bring an extra 5 litre can on your grab bar or something you should be good. Most bikes you could do 100km of hard riding from a tank.
If you think you aint gonna make it carry some more fuel.
There is no support vehicle and if your quad breaks down you will have to retrieve it yourself.
