    Count me in, no need for learner practice (finally passed test) but definately interested in the ride out to Bungendore as you can never have too much roadcraft practice.

    Hey guys the Hall markets are on on Sunday. Would it be an option to ride out there and have a coffee instead of bungendore? Just an idea, I don't mind where we ride as long as we ride :p

    I will chat to Heidi - but my vote would still be for Bungendore.

    The entrance and road to the Hall markets is gravel and if it doesn't rain can get very dusty. Then there is the whole parking bikes in paddock like carparks which for some new riders isn't something they are comfortable doing. Cars going everywhere out there as well, so with some very new learners hopefully coming along, I prefer a ride to Bungendore that has a safe carpark / lots of easy parking options where people's bikes are safe.

    This sounds like fun. I've not been to any of the CanberraRiders events before and could use the low speed practice, so I'll do my best to get there. Pop me down as a 'maybe'. Cheers.

    Most of epic seems to be blocked off, with no through way...for some camping thing.

    The gate closer to mitchel is still open and the parking lot is clear for use.

    Ran through the MOST with flying colours, whilst out and about today.

    lol then again, the 125cc is a very nimble beastie!!

    I wasn't aware of EPIC being used until Wildpig's post.

    Our first post - has 10am practise at EPIC carpark behind the grandstand.

    Sounds like the carpark is still clear though - so if the main gates on Flemington Rd are being used...as Wildpig indicated - keep going down Flemington Rd (to Mitchell) and the next set of gates were open today.

    Huge day today - and everyone improved so much!
    I'm not sure if the finally count was 31 or 32 bikes at one stage!

    Shame that the carpark was full of cars... but I think our alternate plan worked out well too.
