Capel 2023
2023 Capel 200
How good was that! Started with the standard Friday night around the bonfire with plenty beers, booze and BS! They have really cleared out and open up the area we normally camp and even created a huge pit for the fire for us with seating. Very good of them. 350 entries this year so the paddock was chockers. Ventured out with Tommy, Slates and Husky Dan. A few k's in and Slates decides the 'W' track was better to the main track so continued. We caught up with him at the one of the first re-groups. Tracks were A grade and conditions just about perfect apart from about 5 minutes of drizzle which was more an annoyance just having to wipe the goggles a little. Other than that..... perfect. The flowing pines section (closed and open) are always a highlight and for me the last 5kms of fast/ flowing trails just topped it off. This was the old shorter loop they used to do. Wish they would bring that back. Husky Dan had to ride back in about 2/3 the way around only having 4th gear due to stripped gear lever. Another great event. Will be back again next year for sure. Adventure Rally in October. See you there. Jason Another great Capel 200 weather was perfect and of course the crack around the fire on Friday night was flowing a few more turned up on Saturday morning to top the event at 350 participants .Ride of the day must go to Iron Man JNR who managed to get 3 laps done he missed out on a 4th by half an hour SOTD goes to Cogers who was last seen in the back of an ambulance with his arm in a sling hope you get well soon mate and get the KX 500 back together again. Check out who got pole position on the grid. Tommy        |
