This is a great event.

Love to but no can go. Work now rules my weekends.
Going to make it out to the 09 Australian Safari during the week for some of the action.

 

Ahh maybe next time.
There are 2 or 3 non competitive but well organised trail rides each year that are within a few hours driving from Perth.

As for the Australasian Safari, I might go and look at the prologue stage on the Saturday morning, but the rest of it will be too far away for me.
I am really tempted to do the 3 day Moto Adventure Tour but it would mean 3 days off work and thats a bit of a squeeze at the moment. Plus you finish in Kalgoorlie so there goes another day getting home. Oh well. Next year.
