    Anyone interested in a trip to Wyperfield over said weekend.

    Already the usual 5 reprobates are coming. Some of us will trailer the bikes up and set up camp the preceding Thurs night. We need the vehicles/trailers as commonly there are broken bikes and/or riders that need transportation/evacuation.

    The area is suitable if you are not too comfy on sand as well. Up further in the national park proper there are some good intro sand roads to ride that would easily soak up 2 days of riding.

    Camping out in the scrub, good supply of firewood and generally a roast slab of meat in the weber on one night.

    Let me know here or pm and I can pm back the details. 5ish hours from Melb via Horsham.

    might come along as well, someone's got to take the purty pictures–shit, I forgot, Dave's got a new camera, hasn't he? But then who will shoot the shooters…?

    I've got a DSLR as well, + helmet cam. Am planning on bringing laptop and doing some CD burning up there. Bring your software and we can send everybody home with a disc. Even do some video editing rather than sit around a fire drinking. PM on the way.

    We do a 180 km loop, all publics roads and National Park, so chances aren't good. Rec Rego is fine.
