First Bagshot Vinduro a huge success
The Bendigo Motorcycle Club's first vinduro was a hit, with over 60 riders on a variety of machinery all enjoying a terrific 5 km loop at the Bagshot Motorsport Complex. There was gravel, dust, sand, logs, a little mud, and some incredibly tight single trail.
The most laps completed was 23, achieved by a rider on a Honda SL125!
Thanks are due to the BMCC for running the event, and the Bendigo Car Club for the use of the property.
Photos of the event can now be viewed on the Enduro Bike Talk forum (log-in required).
There was a lot of new faces at Bagshot. If you want to get onto the Vinduro Victoria emailing list just drop us a line at vinduro.victoria@gmail.com
