Another great weekend at Yealering
The Vinduro club would like to thank Whippie and Claire Dawes for hosting another great event and the AGM at their Yealering property. It was a big turnout of riders who enjoyed 21 kilometres of awesome wide-open track — it would have to be one of the best tracks we have ridden.
Some riders also enjoyed side trips to Yealering and Kirk Rock. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend of good weather and riding. Apart from a few run-ins with the local wildlife and people using bikes to knock down trees, it was a trouble-free and chill event.
The AGM was held on Saturday evening, with club members enjoying refreshments supplied by the club.
