Canowindra vinduro, June 8 - 9

A new event has been provided for the June long weekend following the cancellation of Rockley. The new location is Canowindra, NSW. The event will be run by the Manly-Waringah Motorcycle Club.

It will be a loop of approximately 15 kms. There'll be a canteen selling food, and portable toilets on site.

It will be cold there in June, so perfect riding weather at this venue we're told: "Don’t miss it, its a new location and will be a fantastic ride."

A great start to 2013 at Three Bridges

The sublime loop, laid back atmosphere and smooth running of this event on March 3 have all resulted in Ryan and the Oakleigh MCC kicking off the 2013 vinduro season in real style.

A large amount of riders, including many vinduro first timers, made good use of a brand new Three Bridges loop that was fast flowing and fun. The talk in the pits that afternoon, and subsequent internet chatter have all confirmed that this event was awesome.

Photos taken by Richard Reeve are available to view here. Mick Williams has also published many images from the day on the EBT Forum.
