It looks frikkin awesome. It's like the old road, but one way sealed of for bikes, up near mt white. I would do it if I could. But last time I checked they have noise requirements that may prohibit many of us from participating on paper (<95dB) Not sure how active they are at policing it.
I have only heard good things about it though!

The stay upright courses have dB restrictions too. Didn't notice anyone checking when I went to Broadford.

Have only heard, never been ... but when I did hear about it I also spent a bit of time on google maps  So I s'pose you will be up for pizza at Mt White Cafe that evening to regale your exploits  |

C'mon Hambo, Is this a secret society? My understanding was ... yes, it is. Gentle pressure has been applied in the past ... all to no avail  Has anyone been ?

Is this event open to spectators? What are the details of this 'advanced rider day'? |

The first rule of Farm Club is you don't talk about Farm Club.  |

I'll be very interested in your feedback on the day. The rider days are quite expensive, but I'm told that they're head & shoulders above what you get elsewhere. I understand you get tuition if you want it, and they throw on a BBQ as well. Top that off with a track that was designed for a fellow with too much money and a Mclaren (but nowhere to legally drive it) and it's said to be a fantastic experience. Please post up your impressions of the day, plus any photos that you manage to snap (including of the pit area). Have fun! |
