well all turned up on the friday night, with the exeption of one who couldnt be bothered till saturday afternoon (me  ) So saturday afternoon we hit the trails with a gutso and did some exploring of some new tracks and revisted some old favorites. Had a little rain to keep the tracks nice and damp...NO DUST headed down top Mays bush and the quad father smashed the old record by 20+ seconds and then matty on the C..raptor beat that by a further 7 seconds and times were falling like first snows of winter. We followed emiel and he ended up in a section of the pines and matt got him self stuck and the overheated the raptor, with no damage to the bumble bee and his pride...
So we went back to the camp and settled in for a rather chilly night in front of the fire, and we tough hard drinking men were tucked in bed by 11pm...
Sunday: we were up and getting ready for the days ride and again we hit the fav's and did the that rotton goat track, which I had all manner and greif, with the green one, wouldnt idle and wouldnt run hald the the time, (needs a major rejet and re think) But I moved on. Found a little track to no where and and getting stuck going up a hill, and eventually headed back and another great weekend at yarram was over till the next one.
Check out a few pics and little bit of video at www.quadtrailriders.com would post pics here but my photo bucket's full... 
If I've forgotton any detail fill them in chaps if you had the benifit of being there
Oh and a special mention has to go to D Beechy for letting the quadfather ride HER quad...and he loved it

There is a fair chance I'm coming up on the friday night (depending on work) but I'm only gonna be able to ride on the Saturday. Hopefully my 450 will be ready before then. Probably bring a few other with me too.

nah just to busy, between the MX stuff and building race quads in between I dont know how many enduro's I'll get to. I may get to the Snake valley trail ride cos we've got no MX on in june and I dont think we can afford to go to Finke now.

Well mine's back together just need to do a quick service and we're good to go. I'll ring Emiel during the week and let him know I'm coming. Might have a few suprises before the weekend too.
