I entered the ‘Variety dirt bike bash for the kids’ last weekend. It was an amazing event with over 200 riders covering an 80km look through the Neerim state forest.

They did a fantastic job of organising this with huge prizes to be won, an auction, full catering, fun events, poker run, etc. Everything was donated. The course was great with marshals and support staff at every bend. They raised just on $29,000 for the day.

I made it to the end (just), if not a bit beaten up thanks to the $1,500 suspension
upgrade recommended to me prior, that made my KTM almost unrideable and spat me off at will without notice (and, boy, do I have the bruises to prove it).
