Hey Guys,

We are having a 4X ride day out at Illinbah this Sunday for riders who might be interested. Randal, myself and a few other riders will be looking at lines and to see if anything needs to fixed and made even before racing.

Would be great if you could maybe bring a shovel and help for a few minutes too, the track doesn't need that much work but will require a few helping hands. You will only be allowed to be on the 4X track when Randal and I are there. We are getting there at 9am and would expect to be gone by 12noon.

Don't forget to bring your togs to jump in the creek after as you will need it as it is very hot out there.

Hope we might see some faces out there.

Hi Guys,

Just letting you know that Racing will be on tomorrow at Illinbah even if it is raining. If it is raining in Brisbane or the Gold Coast doesn't mean that it will be raining out at Illinbah.

The race will only be called off if it pouring down hard. But like I said it may not actually be raining out there. The track will stand the rain as it is 4X. can't wait to see you all out there. Will be a great day. Lets hope that the sun comes out for a great day of racing.
